Btw, be aware that MusicBrainz is in the process of changing a lot of things. First, they're currently re-writing the frontend with a different template engine to make the code cleaner and make it more attractive for new developers, allow for i18n, etc. If you're planning to bring RDFa to their pages, now's the time. ;-)
After that they will tackle major schema changes that will add new resource types and change the semantics of the existing types quite considerably. Just to make you aware that things might not be very stable, looking into the future.

Another way of merging descriptions of MusicBrainz linked data is by using MusicBrainz identifier properties (to be added to the Music Ontology) that would be IFPs pointing to the UUIDs directly.
