Ben,
Your blog entry makes interesting reading.
With reference to the occurrences of rdf:description instead of
rdf:Description, these have now been corrected and an updated version
(0.3.1) of the data is now available directly from the British Library.
Your post mentions RDF errors. Beyond the one noted above, is there
anything else? Obviously, we rely on user feedback to improve our
output; so, if there is anything else, please let us know.
Regards
Corine
