[Koha] LC Name Authorities - Bulk upload LC database file into Koha Authorities module?

[Joy Nelson]

Craig, Cecil, Sebastian,
At this time, Koha's authority model relies on MARC data.  If you have a
file of Authority MARC records, those can be easily imported into Koha
using the Tools-Stage MARC records area.  However, if the file contains
RDF/XML or triples of some sort, then that file would need to be converted
into MARC before it could be imported.
