Hi Krista,
I know of at least two Canadian universities (SFU and UPEI) using an
integration between Islandora and Pydio for the management of research data.
It's explained a bit more here: http://bit.ly/1oX2lfs. The UPEI data sites is:

Call for Proposals: SWIB16 - Semantic Web in Libraries Conference
28.11. - 30.11.2016, Bonn, Germany
The SWIB conference (Semantic Web in Libraries) is an annual conference
focusing on Linked Open Data (LOD) in libraries and related organizations. It
is held in Germany, by turns in the Cologne
I'm interested to use the LCSH data contained in the Harvard Open Metadata
project to provide some hierarchical browsing (e.g. Fiction -> Mysteries ->
Historical Mysteries on top of a book database.
I'm a library sciences newbie, but it seems like LCSH doesn't really provide a
formal hierarchy
Fiction->Mysteries->Historical Mysteries is an example of genres, not subject
headings. There is a subtle difference--the difference between "what is this
type" and "what is this about". LCSH does have a very structured hierarchy,
but it was not intended for the kind of shelf browsing you seem
Hi Mark,
We are also interested in providing hierarchical browsing for some of our
collections, though our reasons and goals may be different from yours. We
have very large book collections and want to offer users a way to navigate
beyond searching/filtering or "browse all." Our idea is to use the

between Genre and Subject headings. (although I think the distinction might be
confusing for casual readers). But in context of the data available, that
makes sense and is helpful.

Thank you Carol. I will look into to call number to LC class mapping. That
might be relevant.

in the "faceted navigation" vein.
Interesting browse experience you have created, I like how you can move

Erin is correct, Simon Fraser did go with Pydio as a user-facing loading dock
to our Islandora-based research data repository but we are now (well, as soon
as we can get some developer resources) replacing that with OwnCloud since
campus IT has launched a university-wide service based on it. Bot

Thanks!

thank you that is very helpful!
LCSH is only subject headings, not genres. LCSH has been used in the past for
fiction and non-fiction genres, but that is now technically incorrect. Genres
are now covered by LCGFT. This is why I said you would have difficulty
covering both non-fiction subjects and fiction genres with any tra

LoC genre form terms have been around since the 1980s; they use to be called

sounds like there is a lot of useful metadata but somewhat scattered amongst
various fields, depending on when the item was cataloged or tagged. Which seems
to correspond to anecdotal surfing of the Harvard data.

About ten years ago, I was wondering how to make the structure in LCSH, or
at least how it was encoded in MARC subject tags more useful, so when
implementing a prototype for a new library catalogue at the National
Library of Australia, I tried using the subject tag contents to represent a
hierarchy
Wow this is really interesting! want to play it with for a bit and will share
any thoughts!
From a librarian’s perspective, we know searching is messy – a researcher can’t
hope to find the perfect subject heading that will reveal all their related
content in one term. Searching is exploring through overlapping terms, and
compiling a bibliography from the pearls found in the process.
Yes, it's exploring what advantage there may be of using overlapping search
terms to help bridge the differences between LCSH and "common usage", or
"what the searcher is thinking of" that motivated this subject display.
For example, the person-in-the-street would reasonably think that when
