Nate - 

Terribly sorry to have crossed up your name! Yes, the 5 LC classes would be of 
use at this point, as I'm experimenting and 5 is a reasonable sample.

(Nate Trail here).  Yes, we do have plans to convert all the schedules and 
their tables to linked data, but we’re more focused on other aspects of linked 
data (BIBFRAME) right now…  We might be able to get out a full download of the 
5 we have, but I’m not sure how much good that does. Would it be useful?

I’m glad for your interest.



Nate

thanks for the responses - queries against 5 classes _are_ possible using the 
linked data search interface, but no bulk download is available (I asked and 
was told no by Mark Trail of LC, and that "the original MARC data is tied up in 
cost recovery statutes").



LCC is also browsable and searchable via the Classification Web service, but no 
downloads.



I'm hoping that someone has done this slog and has made it available. If I wind 
up doing it all (I began with just two letters), I *will* make it freely 
available!

Stuart,

Good question about the 5/21 letter classes. You can bulk download many
datasets here  [1]. Although, it appears that
LCC is not a download option. Hrm...

A couple of questions about that:

* I notice that only five of the 21 letter classes are listed. Is this
a work in progress of am I missing something?

* Is that avaliable as a bulk download?

[CODE4LIB] LC classifications in structured format?

2015-06-02 Thread Karl Grossner
Hello,

I'm trying to locate a downloadable copy of the LC Classifications (LCC) in a 
structured format that expresses the hierarchy - SKOS, thesaurus, XML, whatever 
- in order to study its spatial and temporal content. I've located a 
tab-delimited copy and have began encoding parent-child relations, but it's 
very time-consuming (https://archive.org/details/LcClassificationA-z). 

The LC linked data group has a search interface to a few classes, but it's a 
download of the whole thing I'm after and they say it's not available. Seems 
like it should be, being government-funded and all...

Any ideas?

thanks
Karl
