I read/parsed more of the FRED authority data, indexed it, and
stuffed it into a DICT server. It now includes subject term, personal
name, corporate name, and geographic name authorities. Try the
following URLs and they will each return a sort of "tag cloud",
albeit pretty huge ones:

   * blues - http://tinyurl.com/yt2db7
   * lancaster - http://tinyurl.com/yw5hdr
   * librarianship - http://tinyurl.com/2baoxg

Each of the hotlinked words/phrases could either return a definition
of itself for be used to search a catalog/index of content.
