Replace BnF URIs from data.bnf.fr to ark.bnf.fr #318

Description

@SvenLieber

We used a data dump from the National Library of France (BnF). Throughout our dataset we consistently use the resolver URL of the BnF's data platform, e.g. http://data.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb427255379.

However, as of 2026, the data platform no longer shows landing pages for manifestations, only the underlying RDF is served. We could link to the respective catalogue entry via the catalogue resolver, (http://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb427255379), but the most persistent solution is to link directly to the persistent identifier http://ark.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb427255379. This will link to the correct landing page, in this case the catalogue.

We could/should adapt the prefixes of our namespaces in case we want user-friendly links.

Please note that the RDF data served by the BnF uses the data.bnf.fr (and not ark.bnf.fr or catalogue.bnf.fr URIs), so we do everything correctly and in theory we don't have to replace the URIs.
