The faceted version of LCSH that was a joint project of OCLC and LC (FAST) has been released as linked data. The LD solution is one I haven't seen before and I'm hoping some list members can help me understand it. Here is a link to a page that is a response to clicking on "RDF/XML": http://experimental.worldcat.org/fast/862730/ The instructions say to view source to see the RDF. I did that, but now I would really like someone to tell me what I'm looking at... is that RDFa? I believe that the entries in the FAST vocabulary are more likely to find matches "in the cloud" than those in LCSH because the FAST entries are less complex. Most of them are single terms rather than a two or more dash-dashed entries. (The remaining dash-dashed ones are often geographic headings with, for example, a state and a city or a country and a city.) Already FAST is linked to GeoNames, which is a good step. (I thought LCSH was also linked to GeoNames but I can't find an example to confirm that.) Here's a geographic entry: http://experimental.worldcat.org/fast/1205143/ kc -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
