I'm a library sciences newbie, but it seems like LCSH doesn't really provide a

Is anyone aware of any approaches (or better yet code!) that translates lcsh
to something like BISAC categories (either BISAC specifically or some other
hierarchy/ontology)? General web searching didn't find anything obvious.
There's HILCC, the Hierarchical Interface of LC Classification:
