This set of programs lets you convert MARC subject authority data to 
SKOS and then serve it up as linked data for use on the semantic web.

If you just want to get the triples, and don't want to be bothered with
converting legacy MARC data, and running an instance of lcsh.info then 
you should probably just download the complete set of triples at:

  http://lcsh.info/static/lcsh.nt
