Re: [CODE4LIB] LCC classifications in XML
Not long ago, I recall Ed Summers sharing the classification outline in RDF. I may still have a copy of that around if you're interest.

I'd certainly be interested in that too. On 8/28/07, Jonathan Brinley [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not long ago, I recall Ed Summers sharing the classification outline in RDF.

But they don't go into the full gory detail of the classification. For example, if you are interested in QA934, you can only get as close as: QA801-939 Analytic mechanics If you do need the full, detailed classification, LC's Classification Web appears to be based on a set of MARC records. Here's an example for QA934: ID: CF 94037268Rec Stat: nEntrd: 930427Used: 19960528 CNID: DLCRec Type: wKOR: aNumType: aVal: a Opt: aEnc Levl: nSyn: aDis: a 010 $a CF 94037268 040 $a DLC $c DLC 084 0 $a lcc 153 $a QA934 $h Mathematics $h Analytic mechanics $h Elasticity.

I couldn't find any mention of the availability of the actual MARC records on the Cataloging Distribution Service website. Maybe LC will make them available via a free RESTful web service... :) -Keith
