Re: AW: Convert MARCXML to SKOS XML file

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for your reply.  I installed mc2skos and got it to work. I have a
question about its usage but I can't find Dan Michael O. Heggøh's email
address. I appreciate it if you know the answer.

My question is regarding one of the options:

--skosify SKOSIFY?  It says "Run Skosify with given configuration file."  I
don't know which configuration file it refers to. Do I need to create it
myself? If yes, what does it look like?

Thanks so much.
