What about the BISAC Classification Schemes?

...

The BISAC to Thema mapping was developed by the BISG Thema Working Group, a task force of the Subject Codes Committee. The version used in our translator tool maps BISAC 2016 (released Fall 2016) to Thema 1.2 (released Spring 2016).  The mapping is updated yearly, sometime around January or February, but unfortunately Thema major update happens in March or April and the mapping lags until the next winter.

The complete mapping is available as an Excel spreadsheet for free to all BISG members and alongside the purchase of a BISAC EULA for non-members. Contact BISG to obtain your copy.

Please note that this mapping is meant as a guide, and user discretion is needed. When the mapping is applied to an individual title, it is expected that users will confirm that the Thema code(s) indicated are the best mach for the title.
