Kurts, Mats, Kingsley
Thanks for the info. So to clarify, there is access to a Discogs
dataset but it has the issues which you raised.
I would be interested in working on the interlinking aspect to get
resources correctly synched with dbtunes and maybe dbpedia concepts
also. Who was working on that aspect of the data?
cheers

The main major thing lacking now I think is links[1] to MusicBrainz,
and I don't think that can be done without a dump. Apart from that,
the mappings are also incomplete. The ruby code can be found at
dataincubator[2].

I've spent some time w/ Discogs stuff - it needs some work. The links
to DBpedia are broken b/c of some capitalization errors, and the
artist URIs and foaf:names are a bit borked b/c the underlying data
has some unicode errors (two bytes v one byte unicode not handled
properly)

you might see if you can just use these. otherwise the ruby code is
around somewhere on the talis platform site. no time to find it now -
i've got a new born to look after :-)
