Hi Ed,

That's really cool indeed! Yet it's quite puzzling: I don't know what kind of bias there is in this BTC dataset, but there seems to be a strange selection being made. To take a graph we know both quite well, it's just impossible that the full id.loc.gov contained so few as 27,392 SKOS triples. Or have they captured a state in which id.loc.gov did *not* contain LCSH?
Do you have an idea?

Cheers,

Antoine
