publishing library’s traditional Chinese KOS as Linked Data, initially verifies the scientificity of
Knowledge Organization Standards of NLC and the feasibility of helping copyright owners create
and publish the Linked data. To further verify its maturity and reliability, this paper continues
to adopt this solution to achieve the Linked Data service of classification scheme, and creates
the interconnection between Linked Data of CLC and CCT. At present, the interconnection with
catalog data is under construction.
In accordance with the needs and features of CNKOS ontology of classification scheme and in
line with four principles for publishing information as Linked Data on the Web, this paper realizes
the Linked Data service of CLC, which provides the following functionalities (see Figure 5).

Figure 5. A screenshot of Linked Data service of CLC.
1) All resources in the ontology of classification scheme that need to be published are identified
with dereferenceable HTTP URIs. As the unique identification of a class, the HTTP URI can be
used to locate the detailed information of the class.
2) It offers two input methods, namely, to input URI in address bar or input class number (or
class name) in search box, so as to inquire the Linked Data. The result is presented in two ways:
the professional display and the common display.
