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.
