Well, you never know. Why not ask again? :)
Robert - do you have any plans for "perma-link"-style per artist, per
album etc. pages at MusicBrainz, which might become canonical reference
URLs for the things they describe? (ie. with nice stable URLs). If so,
could you be persuaded to include RDFa markup inline in the HTML pages,
so the content could be machine-readable too? (or even rdf/xml at a
nearby shadow URL). If not, fair enough, there are various candidate
services who will probably do something like this. But my preference
would be for the identifiers and data to come direct from MusicBrainz if
possible. Any thoughts? Yves too, any thoughts on best way forward?
cheers,
Dan
