Hello, >> Does anyone know the state of play wrt a linked dataset describing Discogs >> (the music/record site)? 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) > There have always been Virtuoso Sponger [1] Cartridges (Basic and Meta) for > Discogs. > > Examples: > > 1. > http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/entity/http/www.discogs.com/artist/Stevie+Wonder > -- Stevie Wonder > > 2. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtSponger -- > Virtuoso Sponger Middleware > you might see if you can just use these. otherwise the ruby code is around somewhere on the talis platform site. no time to find it now - i've got a new born to look after :-) -kurt j
