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

[Craig Butosi]

Hi all,

I've been curious for a while now if anyone has successfully bulk-uploaded into Koha (3.20 or newer) one of the free LC Name authority database files available through the Library of Congress: http://id.loc.gov/download/

I wonder if it's even possible given the file formats in which these files are available (n-triples, rdf/xml, Turtle, etc). It looks like some sort of conversion would be required before uploading into the Koha authorities module. It would be lovely to bulk upload a Name authority file direct from LC rather than Z39.50'ing individual authorities.

Can anyone share how they may (or may not) have accomplished this?

Thanks everyone,
