FRBRoo (version 2.0 draft of May 2013) was published as an IFLA linked

The canonical, de-referenced URIs use the CRM alphanumeric code
without the English label to make them language independent, following
IFLA standard practice for linked data.
Interesting. I was thinking of suggesting that the main CRM Linked Data
resource adopts exactly this approach. Linked Data identifiers are
meant to be persistent, as far as possible, and we saw this week that
random decisions by ICOM editors have led to changes in element and
property labels. With the current strategy, these changes will have to
be propagated into the Linked Data URLs, making the CRM as bad as
dbpedia when it comes to stability of URLs over time. (In Wikipedia,
anyone can change the title of a page to help disambiguate it. When
they do, the corresponding dbpedia URL has to change.)
