Hi Ed,

thanks! And thank you for publishing the LCSH as Linked Data! I think  
it will be much easier to convince (some) people that Linked Data is  
actually picking up steam now. I have loaded your dataset into the  
triple-store which makes matching our terms so much easier. Every  
Swedish subject heading should have a link to http://lcsh.info soon.

I'll make an announcement on linking-open-data-list as well, but I  
want more links to external datasets before I do.

Let's discuss it on this list for now at least.

/Martin
