Description

The Library of Congress Linked Data Service (id.loc.gov) provides interactive and machine access to the Library's authority and bibliographic metadata, along with commonly-found standards and vocabularies used and/or maintained by the Library of Congress. Each controlled vocabulary list has a resolvable URI, as does each data value within it. Ontologies for several major data element sets are also available.

This includes the LCSH (Library of Congress Subject Headings), the TGM (Thesaurus for Graphic Materials), preservation vocabularies, language and country codes, or the American Folklore Society Ethnographic Thesaurus (AFS Ethnographic Thesaurus) among others.
