Hey Aaron, nice of you to drop-by.

WRT bnodes, I’m trying to give everything a uri to make it easier for others to link into and/or comment on any aspect.

With the OL #it URIs, that’s great, I didn’t know you guys were doing that – I’ll work that into what I’m doing.

The appropriate URIs for things in OpenLibrary are the OpenLibrary URI plus #it; e.g. an author is http://openlibrary.org/a/OL32312A#it

I would have thought that birth and death should be b-nodes, but I’m fine with using http://openlibrary.org/a/OL32312A#birth

That’s really great Kingsley, thanks. There are lots of really obvious ways to get great value from the OpenLibrary data – it’s good to see some of them in action.

Rob,

This compelled me to knock up a movie showing the distillation of entities from OpenLibrary information resource URLs [1], en route to producing Linked Data using proxy URI
