Dear Wojciech,
Thank you very much for your message.
1. It should be SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
2. We would like to encourage you and others to discuss this question. What do you believe the internal forces within the library community to be, which affect subject cataloging today?
