Kjetil,

Have you looked at: http://dbpedia-live.openlinksw.com/live? Notice the 
delta link with exposes a resource containing deltas (in RDF model 
triples). When we make the domain swap re. DBpedia-Live and DBpedia, I 
think processing the delta would be a better way of handling this. That 
said, we'll maul over the possibility of post-processing the deltas en 
route to making 301's, but I am yet to figure out a route that isn't 
extremely tedious on our end.
