SanfordBermanLCSHScorecard
A mini-project from DanBri to re-express the LCSH extensions of Sanford Berman in SKOS. Berman is a longstanding critic of the value judgements implicit in the LCSH, and has pushed for various parts to be cleaned up, and new headings added. The idea here is to show how this kind of annotation could be modelled in RDF, such that new headings might directly be used. For example, one might want to express interest in, or expertise with 'MENS UNDERPANTS', regardless of whether that extension was yet added to the official LCSH. With URIs, RDF and SKOS, this should be possible.
See also LCSH.info eg sh85002007 (which subsumes the somewhat notorious 'negros as businessmen'). The question of how best to model archaic and offensive classifications is bigger than the scope of this little project, where we focus more on how to overlay new conceptualisations on an existing mainstream (and perhaps archaic) base.
So the table below is a start at getting data from a scanned PDF into machine form. First, into a wiki. At the time of writing this is only half done; Help Welcomed!

* I made an RDFa template in the FOAF svn tree, showing something of how this might look in an rdf/html format
