Congratulations, this is fantastic nes. And I think also a very timely
test-case for how community-maintained and consortium-based standards
(schema.org) can be deployed alongside each other.

Could you say a little more about the subject classification aspects
of this data? I don't know a lot about French cataloguing.  In the
sample URIs you give above, I find only Rameau. You mention also
Dewey.info, so I guess there's Dewey in there. And Rameau also has
some mappings to LCSH. Are there other schemes? e.g. I'm interested in
particular to find instance data for UDC and for Library of Congress
Classification (LCC), but also anything else that has a SKOS
expression.

Thanks for any more info,

cheers,

Dan

ps. some Gremlin examples follow (see
http://danbri.org/words/2011/05/10/675 ) ... it uses the Linked Data
Sail to pull in pages on demand from the Web, as you explore into the
graph.

g = new LinkedDataSailGraph(new MemoryStoreSailGraph())
i1 = g.v('http://www.sudoc.fr/132133520/id')
