it makes sense if you plan to use marc and non marc db back-end.
if you plan to use only marc, i think you can avoid a link.
if you really want to link, maybe *classification* is what you're 
looking for, but katipans should know better. Anyway, subclass is only 
char(3), so, a little bit too short.
