A simple (possibly dumb) question. Is there a standard mechanism for
linking an HTML page to the non-information resource that it describes?
In contrast, if I look at the page for the band on the BBC, i.e.
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/d700b3f5-45af-4d02-95ed-57d301bda93e>
there seems to be no reference at all to the non-information resource
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/d700b3f5-45af-4d02-95ed-57d301bda93e#artist>
which is the "subject" of the page.
In this case you have:
html:rel alternate -> rdf version of page
(you can also ask for rdf/xml directly in accept header).
RDF version says primary topic is '...#artist'
So perhaps the BBC perspective is that the HTML is a lower-fidelity
representation of the resource.
The dbpedia page also has a rel alternate to an rdf version. In that
case, however, the page isn't mentioned.
I would add a little RDFa (to beef up the fidelity a touch) and use
foaf:primaryTopic.
