You could always web scrape, or download and then search the LCNAF with some
script that looks like:
#Build query for webscraping
query = paste(http://id.loc.gov/search/?q=;, URLencode(corporate name here
), q=cs
...@loc.gov

N-triples files.
Any examples or suggestions for reading any of these formats?
