Re: Discogs Linked Data

Hello,

I've spent some time w/ Discogs stuff - it needs some work.  The links
to DBpedia are broken b/c of some capitalization errors, and the
artist URIs and foaf:names are a bit borked b/c the underlying data
has some unicode errors (two bytes v one byte unicode not handled
properly)

you might see if you can just use these.  otherwise the ruby code is
