Hi,
Can you provide some examples of the data? I was looking for myspace
links in the MusicBrainz data set earlier in the week but couldn't
find any.
This query:
PREFIX mo: <http://purl.org/ontology/mo/>
SELECT ?myspace WHERE {
?x mo:myspace ?myspace.
}
LIMIT 10
Returns no results from the musicbrainz SPARQL endpoint linked from
[1] and eventually times out with a Proxy error from [2]. I also tried
some variants using foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf. I'm probably missing
something here.
I'm trying to cross-link my discogs dataset [3] and some data on the
moseley folk festival [4] to other sources, and ended up having more
luck by looking up myspace links in the BBC data, via [5]. As that is
already tightly linked to dbpedia and musicbrainz I managed to include
a number of other links fairly easily. But I'd like to try this
against musicbrainz and myspace data directly.
Any help appreciated as I'm keen to make sure I link in those new
datasets as much as possible :)
Cheers,
L.
