Thanks Richard, I'll definitely be exploring how the catalog can support both Holdings representation using schema.org Offer as well as the Worldcat linked data work authorities services you listed. This will save both implementation time on my part as well as leveraging Worldcat's efforts in Work identification and deduplication (not a small project!).

Interesting developments Jeremy. Looking forward to seeing the Schema.org output - are you planning on representing holdings < https://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/wiki/Holdings_via_Offer> ?
As to authoritative links you might find WorldCat Works < http://dataliberate.com/2014/02/oclc-preview-194-million-open-bibliographic-work-descriptions/>
a good source of work authority and (when very soon including VIAF, LCSH, FAST, etc.) a good route to other authorities.
