Robin,
Yes, I have a version of SHIC which I have lovingly reconstructed from
various sources (with considerable help from Stuart, who I am sure /is
/still out there), and which now lives happily in a Modes data file as a
set of XML records. That's the good news.
However, I am not sure what the status of this version is, and whether I
would be free to let you have a copy. Collections Trust and the SHCG
have been expressing an interest in SHIC of late, and of course the
original SHIC Working Party might still want to have a say. There is
the idea of SKOS-ifying SHIC. Would anyone care to comment?
At a practical level, would a dump of SHIC as an XML document be of use
to you?
