Re: W3C Linked Data Community Directory

Thanks a million Gannon.   Just goes to show you power of RDF ... we published it, you fixed it :-)  Your gift is gratefully accepted.  Will advise when incorporated asap.  I like what you added, thank you again.  

Cheers,

The LCSH supplies broader terms. 3) A link to the narrowest available LOC Vocabulary Encoding, which you can follow up to the LCSH 4) Leftovers (the LOC has a lot of work to do), down to the narrowest Subdivision defined by UN LOCODES (who also have a lot of work to do, and needs a better definition of "peer").
