Don't forget that it might be duplicative of the 260 but the 008 has "machine
readable" date info that may be less specific than the 260 but more uniformly
entered (or that's the only place there is a date associated with
publication/release).

Dear All,
[sorry for cross-postings]
Beginning Friday and continuing through the weekend, LC will perform major
system maintenance. All LC systems and websites will be taken offline during
this time. This includes ID.LOC.GOV. Maintenance is scheduled to begin Friday
28August at 5 PM EDT
(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
The ID.loc.gov site has a good known label service described here under known
label retrieval :
http://id.loc.gov/techcenter/searching.html
Use Curl and content negotiation to avoid screen scraping, for example, for LC
Name authorities:
curl -L -H Accept: application/rdf+xml
Dan,
You can look up an LCSH term for it's URI using:
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/label/[known lcsh term]
You are right that not all precoordinated strings are in LCSH, but you can try
each one separately:
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/label/Social%20sciences
That would really dumb down the metadata. DC is very limited.

Marklogic Server supports both xquery and xslt, and they've written an
extension that allows you to call xquery functions from within xsl stylesheets.
It works quite nicely.
