README
id is a django project for serving up LCSH authority data as SKOS RDF, JSON
and HTML. Once upon a time it was the prototype code for the service running
at id.loc.gov, but it has since been superseded. It is here in GitHub mainly
for historical reasons, and also to keep the MARC -> SKOS mapping, which could
be useful for some purposes in the future.
The paper [LCSH, SKOS and Linked Data](http://arxiv.org/abs/0805.2855) has some
background information, on why this project was done.
