Hi Kingsley, I think I understand what you are asking for, although I can't work out what "fidelity" might mean if it is being lost. (And I think the BM is very happy with where this little service fits in their value chain.) I can give you URIs, but they won't help you, as they are not to data that the organisation currently wants to make public by that method. (Eg http://bm.rkbexplorer.com/id/merlin-RRI34751 ). And of course you can't see the URIs in the web page, because it is a web page, not a Linked Data thingy. This is how it should be - the end user should not be exposed to the implementation technologies, and seeing a URI of a component of their user experience is certainly not going to help them.
