Neat. It would be great to have some external dataset to use in ranking LCSH suggestions at id.loc.gov. But at the moment it's a simple mysql db loaded up with some MARC LCSH data. I guess it could do something smart with PageRank-like ranking of 'super-concepts' (concepts that are linked to a lot)...but that would've taken longer than 20 minutes :-) //Ed
