Anyone know if the OCLC Terminology Service provides such a mapping? The
Terminology Service may be free if you are already an OCLC cataloging
member.
At one point I think I saw an absolutely free open access machine
readable mapping somewhere, that was made at some point in the past and
no longer updated... but I cant' remember where I saw that even.
LC's Classification Web provides a mapping from LC classifications to
LC subject headings. There is a manual web interface, used mainly by
catalogers, which requires a subscription:

I don't know if it has any kind of API.
