Yes I can do that. Feels wrong though :)

I agree, but I don't think its redundant. The regex works because we
can reliably pick apart the uri in this case, but not something to
generally encourage. After all these relationship between identifier
and homepage might change in the future, c.f. Facebook profile url
changes. So a little redundancy might make things a little easier(*)
and a little more future-proof.

Cheers,

* I can't do that regex trick in pure SPARQL for example, which is how
I'm doing the basic cross-linking at the moment.
