Yep. There's no URI for LCC. You could put LCC in the subject field of a dublin core profile metadata format ContextObject. But it's not clear why anyone would want to do that.
Well, it could provide some -- dare I say? -- CONTEXT. Having the classification could help a resolver route the request to the appropriate library catalog if a union catalog isn't available. Having the classification could aid a service trying to disambiguate author names. Having the classification could provide a library with interesting statistics on requests, failed requests, and collection development.
Probably none of this is done today, but I think the LCC will become more interesting to us as we begin to go beyond bibliographic matching to bibliographic data mining.
