hmm, almost everything. Except getting all titles in your local
catalogue that correspond to a specific subject heading, when this
subject heading doesn't get catalogued. Its all about enrichment of
your local data with external metadata and thus in the end its all
about metadata sharing.
This - in my mind - essential part cannot be done with Linked Data -
you have to use external metadata and find a source that provides it
;-)
I don't think that it's possible to implement an efficient service
that returns eg. all ISBN's for a given subject heading in LoC, so you
can filter your local titles by them. It can be done easiest by
providing the mapping I suggested, so you can download the flat file,
enrich you local data with the additional subject headings and *then*
use Linked Data.

Oliver
