Actually, I have some stale code for mb_server from about 6 month ago to provide RDF representations of Musicbrainz artist URIs (well, that's a start...). I really need to start working on that again, but I definitely hope we can have Linked Data directly at Musicbrainz, at some point! Things are beginning to look a bit better on my backlog, so hopefully I can revive that work soonish. RDFa would be good option!!
