Um, care to elaborate?

See an earlier message where I mention that the pre-coordinated LCSH strings don't work at all well in an online environment. This is no surprise since they were designed for a completely different technology. I think you can have them work well, but in order for this to happen today, the "strings" must become more flexible, but as I discovered, RDF does not allow the kind of flexibility to do what I mention in this message. Therefore, we either give up on LCSH or seek new solutions.
