Thanks Eric,  I'm still implementing the json and rdf+xml content negotiation functionality for each Work URL (I guess now IRI?) along with the more "non-cool" variants (i.e. catalog/Work/52fe8be7650b8c1454122473.json, catalog/Work/52fe8be7650b8c1454122473.rdf). This should be live by the end of the week or the beginning of next. As for harvesting, do you think a catalog site-map (http://www.sitemaps.org/) would meet your needs?  Regarding your second question, I've been experimenting with creating BIBFRAME authorities from our MARC records using Linked Data from id.loc.gov. I could easily see in future iterations doing the sort of LinkedData mash-up Cory Harper demonstrated at last year's Code4Lib using dbpedia.org and other sources.

Right now the catalog is limited to being a publisher of Linked Data, in the future I would like to implement a SPARQL endpoint to the semantic datastore.

More interestingness. Thank you.

Jeremy, yes, it seems as if your implementation is as publisher, but I do not see how I can harvest your linked data. Is this possible? Do you publish URIs (now apparently called IRIs)? For example, when I use the URL, above, I am not able to see the MARC, Schema.org, nor BIBFRAME representations. Also, the point of linked data is... linking. Do you have ideas of how you can exploit semantic links between yourself and others? Inquiring minds would like to know.
