Hi Oscar!

This is a really interesting mashup of many sources of information (at least 4
different APIs)... this is really beautiful to see :)

It makes a quite interesting music recommendation system.

By the way, for everybody information:

1- A new revision of the ontology should be released next week (mo:Show, the
shortcuts discussion, revision of some definitions, and some more schemas to
explain how things interact together).

2- The MBZ->MO mapping should be released (Virtuoso RDF VIew at least) on
Monday, and the RDF dump should come next week too.

Salutations,

Fred
