Well, I sadly report that the LC subject heading vocabulary in SKOS
format with "cool URIs" (http://lcsh.info) has been removed at LoC's
"request." You can read more about it in the blogosphere, and on the
site, here:
http://lcsh.info/2008/12/19/uncool-uris/
This means that we will need a different subject scheme to use as an
example in the DCAP document. I have looked at the GEM vocabulary
suggested by Diane, but it is very small and specialized. I would like
to find something else, so I am soliciting suggestions. One
possibility is that we could use LCSH but with literal strings for
values rather than URIs. That presupposes that we have a URI for LCSH
itself, and the only one I know of is from the OpenURL set of
registered URIs. Other ideas?
Thanks,
kc
