so those who have responded seem to agree using musicbrainz.org URIs is the best. so i purpose we encourage the use of these in all future / current projects. then after this next mbz release work to inject RDFa asap.
i think one thing that would really facilitate this is including sameAs in DBpedia to musicbrainz artists along side the zitgist links. I would suspect DBpedia is many peoples first entry point to LOD. but perhaps this is another thread for another list ;-)
