Any plan to include machine readable Library of Congress Subject
headings and/or provide a mappings from the existing machine readable
string property (LCC) in the Book Edition schema?

http://id.loc.gov/authorities/

Obviously individual applications could do the mapping themselves
using their data, but from a quick glance at their web site, it
doesn't look like there's an easy way to do the string->URI mapping
using their limited API, so one would need to download the bulk data
do it.
