MACS Working area – LMI https://macs.hoppie.nl/lmi/ • Searching and listingsubjectheadings
Update mechanism and identifier Working area – LMI
Searching links Working area – LMI
Editing links / Creatingnew links Working area – LMI

Methodology • Nolanguageisusedas a pivot • Headingsare not translated • Mapping isdone on thebasisofconcepts • Linking ischecked upon retrievalresults • Set ofpracticalrules and guidelines (BS 8723)
Language differences • LCSH, RAMEAU pre-coordinatedstrings / plural • SWD more flexible; post-coordination / singular • LCSH, RAMEAU subdivisionpractice 160,000 280,000 Frauenarbeit Women -- employment Mörder AND Intensivtäter Serial murderers 96,000 Femmes -- travail Tueurs en série

Linked Data:Publishing MACS in the web • Linked Data: Datasets on the web linkedtogethersemantically, forming a publiclyaccessiblenetwork of structuredinformation
Why Linked Data? • Hasbecomethe de-facto standardfor: • publishing • exchangingdata on the Internet • Reachesmorecollaborationpartners and customers • Research institutions • Cultural heritageorganizations • Internet companies • online communities • Library datacanplay a majorrole in thesemantic web • providesreliability and stability • canbecome a „backboneoftrust“
MACS as Linked Data • Linked Data publishedbytheGerman National Library (asof May 30th, 2010) • 37.547 links from SWD to LCSH • 28.249 links from SWD to RAMEAU • RAMEAU and LCSH also publish MACS relationsaspartoftheirLinked Data • Ourdatahasbeenusedto update the RAMEAU SWD links • LCSH SWD links will follow
Applicationsof MACS Data • Improved Multilingual Search Functionalities • Europeana • Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek • Website of the German National Library
