"We've decided to take Dewey.info offline for the time being. Further 
investigation identified architectural improvements that must be implemented 
before we can provide future access to this service—even in its experimental 
state. There is no current projected date for the return of Dewey.info right 
now."

It's a sad thing when OCLC removes access to the popular linked data 
representation of its internationally-used proprietary classification 
scheme---sad not only that it did it, but that it can at all.
