I was assuming it was a joke just because I’m not aware of Stuart working on collections where such a taxonomy would be useful (though if I’m wrong I look forward to seeing a demo sometime!) but that doesn’t preclude serious answers too: I can see all sorts of research applications (and various surveillance applications) though admittedly I’m mostly envisaging using the library discovery layer to play a game of Guess Who.

Ah, I see. Was the original question intended as a joke? I took the question seriously. There are databases out there which record facial features like this and taxonomies exist for various body features. But I'm not aware of a metadata standard for exchanging such information. What field and taxonomy to use for facial hair is a legitimate question for researchers.

The CDC has released a list of facial hair names https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pdfs/FacialHairWmask11282017-508.pdf<https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pdfs/FacialHairWmask11282017-508.pdf><https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pdfs/FacialHairWmask11282017-508.pdf<https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/pdfs/FacialHairWmask11282017-508.pdf>>
If we want to use these for facetting, which metadata fields should we be using?
cheers
