Artists claim is an interesting problem looking for a solution. I'm hoping that could somehow work via social graph attestations.
Artists would be represented by a UUID in the catalog, which would be connected to an npub by users in your social graph, and the npub itself. Similarly the npub-uuid link can be revoked if keys are lost, band members change etc.
It's useful if different catalogs converge on same UUIDs, but they can be also linked to the same entity.
The same arrangement would of course work for npub attestation / revocation in general, allow targeting of reviews for entities that are not on Nostr and much more.
