Bug Description

The default labels being displayed on the results screen for authority controlled entries are not currently following catalog standards.

Currently the label that appears for all 5XX entries in the Browse results list is the word "See". That is not correct. Here is an example of how the display should look for the Methodist Church (U.S.), taken from the Library of Congress catalog.

Methodist Church (U.S.)
   Earlier Heading: Methodist Episcopal Church
   Earlier Heading: Methodist Episcopal Church, South
   Earlier Heading: Methodist Protestant Church (U.S. : 1830-1939)
   Later Heading: United Methodist Church (U.S.)

As you can see, the label "See" is not used. Please note that the subfield "w" in the Authority records is used to control the label display. Here are the labels that L.C. uses that I was able to find from a quick search in their catalog. There are more. I'm not sure where the bibliographic definitions for authority records are located.

510 $w a = Earlier Heading
510 $w b = Later Heading
550 No $w = See Also
550 $w g = Narrower Term
450 No $w = See
551 $w a = Earlier Heading
