About

From the website:

This is an experimental service that makes the ICONCLASS Iconographic Classification system available as linked-data using the SKOS vocabulary. This service is inspired by the excellent Library of Congress Subject Headings linked data service. It is intentionally copied in spirit and conventions used. The idea is to enable others to make services that could make use of both underlying classification systems using the same toolings. And before you ask, yes I have been in contact with the creator of lcsh.info about this effort. More information about the Linked Data effort can be found on the W3C Wiki.

Access/re-use

The service is still experimental (as noted above) and the dataset is incomplete. The dataset can be downloaded as a zip file. There is currently no information about re-using the data.

Download & API

ICONCLASS RDF N-Triplesexample/rdf+xml

"There are about 1.3 million notations in ICONCLASS (with all keys and children full expanded). You can download a dump of the database in RDF N-Triple form from this link: http://iconclass.org/data/iconclass.20121010.ntriple.gz. The file is 19MB compressed and expands to 340MB. This datafile does not contain all the expanded notations including keys. The size would mushroom, so we are trying to figure out a better way to also make the expanded data available. Please feel free to send me suggestions."
