At my uni we'd like to Integrate our DSpace wtih Library of Congress Name Authority File (LCNAF), as described on this configuration how-to page 

See this section:  

Property:

lcname.url

Example Value:

lcname.url = http://alcme.oclc.org/srw/search/lcnaf_

Informational Note:

Location (URL) of the Library of Congress Name Service



Our question is, is the ' http://alcme.oclc.org/srw/search/lcnaf 'endpoint working or not?  If you click through to the site it indicates that it hasn't been updated since 2015, but maybe they just mean the site interface.  

This ticket indicates that it was down

The Linked Data Service at the Library of Congress might be a better, and more stable, option: http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names.html
