Hi Kingsley,
I think I understand what you are asking for, although I can't work out what 
"fidelity" might mean if it is being lost. (And I think the BM is very happy 
with where this little service fits in their value chain.)

I can give you URIs, but they won't help you, as they are not to data that the 
organisation currently wants to make public by that method.
(Eg http://bm.rkbexplorer.com/id/merlin-RRI34751 ).
And of course you can't see the URIs in the web page, because it is a web page, 
not a Linked Data thingy.
This is how it should be - the end user should not be exposed to the 
implementation technologies, and seeing a URI of a component of their user 
experience is certainly not going to help them.

Best
Hugh
