Congrats! That's great!

But I am afraid that we need to do some cleanup of the already existing values. 
For example the “URI used in RDF”  for GND identifiers was 
"http://d-nb.info/gnd/$1/about/rdf"; that is the URI of the file describing the 
entity in RDF and not "http://d-nb.info/gnd/$1";.
I believe it's a good use case for a feature that would allow to protect 
statements from good faith mistakes that could completely beak a mapping and 
all tools that use it.
The query with all the values for this property is: http://tinyurl.com/ydxeurn4

Cheers,

Thomas
