These RDF files were produced during the LD4L project. They are available for download as described below.
Converter output
The MARC records from each library were converted to BIBFRAME 1.0 RDF by the Library of Congress mar2bibframe converter . LD4L's bib2lod converter was then used to produce RDF in the LD4L data model. The result is RDF in the N-Triples format. These dumps are available:

Usage data
StackScore usage data is available for the Cornell and Harvard holdings. The scores appear as annotations on the individual bib_ids. Each file contains the usage data for the corresponding, similarly named file of converter output. Data is in N-Triples format.
These data files are available:
- 2016-03-17_cornell_ld4l_full_catalog_anno.tar -- Usage data for the Cornell catalog -- 478MB
- harvard.ld4l.full-catalog-1.2016-03-24_anno.tar -- Usage data for the Harvard catalog (1 of 4) -- 286MB
- harvard.ld4l.full-catalog-2.2016-03-22_anno.tar -- Usage data for the Harvard catalog (2 of 4) -- 272MB

- harvard.ld4l.full-catalog-4.2016-03-22_anno.tar -- Usage data for the Harvard catalog (4 of 4) -- 239MB
Additional triples
Additional triples were created to supplement the converter output, adding Work IDs to the Works, and creating links across institutions, between corresponding Works and Instances.
A concordance file was created, associating all known OCLC numbers with their corresponding Work IDs. This file was made with data extracted from a recent Research snapshot of WorldCat, and is structured as follows:
- Column 1: every OCLC number found in a record from both 001 and 019
- Column 2: the current OCLC number for the record, from 001
- Column 3: the current Work ID associated with the record
Fields are tab-delimited. For example:
100000569 100000569 49300684 100000668 100000668 83546218 100000767 100000767 83546282
Using this concordance file, each work was assigned a Work ID, based on the OCLC number of its instances. For example:
<http://draft.ld4l.org/cornell/n556b336629626fa2>
<http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#seeAlso>
<http://worldcat.org/entity/work/id/57063107> .
Although the data from the three institutions were stored in three separate triple-stores, owl:sameAs statements were created where possible to link matching works or matching instances in the separate collections.
Instances with matching OCLC identifiers were linked with owl:sameAs, as were Works with matching Work IDs.

Search
The project developed an experimental search service based on the converted data above. The application code is available from github (https://github.com/ld4l/ld4l_blacklight_search) and is built on Blacklight. Blacklight is a Rails app that includes a Solr search engine and the structure of the search index is determined both by the Solr schema and the Blacklight catalog controller script.
