Confused a little about why the RDF & XML urls use a different ID to the HTML page, example for labour:
HTML: http://openelectiondata.org/id/parties/6 RDF/XML: http://openelectiondata.org/parties/155.rdf XML: http://openelectiondata.org/parties/155.xml Is the site's internal database using a different ID (155 vs 6)?
