I was having so much fun seeing "my old friends," the Library of Congress Subject Headings, in their new home:
Library of Congress Authorities & Vocabularies that I almost forgot to get ready for work this morning!
LCSH as a linked data service,
to quote Jonathan Rochkind, "is AWESOME."Richard Wallis writes:
Overnight this uri ‘
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/sh85042531#concept’ has now become the globally available, machine and human readable, reliable source for the description for the subject heading of ‘Elephants’ containing links to its related terms (in a way that both machines and humans can navigate). This means that system developers and integrators can rely upon that link to represent a concept, not necessarily the way they want to [locally] describe it. This should facilitate the ability for disparate systems and services to simply share concepts and therefore understanding – one of the basic principles behind the Semantic Web.
