Ethan, so you will be dynamcally generating XForms for each term in the FAST
index? and display what the user selects? how will you make them more
relevant?
Could you point us to any user interface where one can see some sample
snippets? Kindest thanks, Ya¹aqov

Ethan, the dynamic terms, indicating their linking/relevancy also as main or
cross references will be of interest also to the VUfind group.
Kindest thanks, Ya¹aqov

Nice work, Ralph. That's really slick. I have all the subject terms
in the

Let me know if you have any problems or questions.

Quoting Keith Jenkins k...@cornell.edu:
The frequency of an LCSH term within the LC catalog could also be
useful for ranking, although I'm not sure if such data would be
readily available.
Couple of things: first, what we have at id.loc.gov is NOT LCSH, but a
copy of the LC subject
If that isn't LCSH, then is the entirety of LCSH available electronically in
some capacity (at least available in some easily accessible file or files
that can be processed)?

Hi all,
I have a need to integrate the LCSH terms into a web form that uses
auto-suggest to control the vocabulary. Is this technically possible with
the id.loc.gov service? I can curl a specific id to view the rdf, but I

It doesn't seem very efficient. It is taking me at least 30 seconds
to load
a page
It has an OpenSearch interface:
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/opensearch
But I don't think there's a way to explicitly limit to, say, the
beginning of a label.
lcsubjects.org has a sparql interface where you could use a regex
filter on the labels:
database is
relatively static.

How about feeding back from web request stats?
Things that get pulled more often are probably more popular.
It's admittedly not very clever, but it would be easy to implement...
