- OCLC Classify API

• Data Source Name: Classify: an experimental classification web service
• its homepage URL: http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/
• and any relevant API and/or download information to aid in caching: http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/api_docs/index.html

A (reactive inspired) semi-automated Sinopia form population feature may be used in BIBFRAME entity description where a user enters an ISBN, OCLC number, UPC, or ISSN.

The Classify service from OCLC can provide suggested authors (w/ VIAF authority links), FAST subject (w/ URIS), and LC number.
