[open-bibliography] More open bib data from Southampton

[Christopher Gutteridge]

Thanks very much!

The de-reference is due to an issue with eprints.soton having an 
over-enthusiastic plugin. Try eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk for another 
example. It's a bug in that one repository that I'm working on getting 
fixed.

If that bug wasn't bugged you'd see a voID declaration for the 
repository. eg.
http://devel.eprints.org/id/repository

It declares all the namespaces that *might* be used in the serialisation 
for speed, rather than backtrack to check which were actually used.

It also provides a rather scary http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/id/dump 
URL which lets you dump all the records.
eg.
curl -H'accept:text/n3' http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/id/dump -L
