Hi, Adrian. This sparked a flurry of downloading and looking among OL programmers. Although it seems a bit reductive, the best way to get the data into OL is using the RDF/2709 format. We looked at the turtle format, but don't have an easy way to resolve the subject terms or author ids. (I'm more and more thinking that we will need to almost always carry both ids and display forms in data that is exchanged.)
I will need to figure out a translation from MAB fields/subfields to the OL fields. A translation table from MAB to MARC (or MARC to MAB) would work, or a description of the MAB data elements (preferably in English, otherwise I hope I can rely on you where my dictionary fails me). For the gruesome details, we can take it off list, you, Felix, and I, unless others here want to watch the sausage being made :-).
