LTI followup to subject string validation question and unlinked headings report

The "unlinked headings" report lists headings which were not linked (at $a level) to an LC or an LTI authority record.   

Should you be interested, an optional report of "partially validated headings" is available on request.  This report lists headings that were linked at $a, but there were subsequent subfields in the heading of which one or more could not be validated by an authority record, or from one of out tables (floats, geographic, language, etc.)    In the "names" file, the bulk of these are name/title headings where the name links; in the subjects, our tables allow us to validate many of the "main + subdivision" strings, so there are fewer reported.
