Re: [ANN] t4gm.info: a Linked Data rendering of the Thesaurus of Graphic Materials

Tom- Certainly not for organizational reasons; I've built this site on my
own time and am hosting it on my own nickel. I'd be open to working out how
to mirror the content at other sites to reduce the risk of loss of service,
since modulo the prefix matching API it is largely static content. I'd be
interested to hear what people thought about LOD best practice for doing so;
I assume that some stitching overlay using owl:sameAs would suffice.
Clearly, as the lcsh.info episode makes clear, this would be useful. -
