Ross,

Are you able to add a <link/> based reference to the master RDF resource 
from <http://purl.org/NET/marccodes/> ?

Also, please add a relation to your RDF doc that connects it to the 
entities it describes. To demonstrate the point:

1. 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/http/marccodes.heroku.com/countries/aa 
-- attempts to describe the RDF document, but it isn't in any relation 
re. the triples it hosts
2. 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/ode/?uri%5B%5D=http%3A%2F%2Flinkeddata.uriburner.com%2Fabout%2Fid%2Fentity%2Fhttp%2Fmarccodes.heroku.com%2Fcountries%2Faa&  
-- Explores the RDF docs content
