The collective wisdom of the group would be welcomed.

I have this list of facet groups from the BCA web site and am fitting my 
literature in to it

Thing - kind  - part - property - material -process - operation - patient 
- product - by-product - agent - space - time

I am a little stuck on where to put the concept of 'symbolism' within 
these facet groups.

Widely used in religious literature and in studies of literature (e.g. 
'The poetics of conversion : number symbolism and alchemy in Gottfried's 
Tristan') and history. Even in hard sciences, one could think of a study 
of the symbolism of the Ouroboros on Kekule

Any thoughts?

Best wishes
