About This Extension

The OpenLink Data Explorer (ODE) extension provides an unobtrusive and non-disruptive mechanism by which to exploit the Linked Data dimension of the World Wide Web. It achieves this by adding two "descriptor document"-oriented menu options to the standard "View" menu items: <ul><li>View Page Description -- which provides a structured description (metadata) of the page you are viewing</li><li>View Page Data Sources -- a Linked Data explorer that provides a variety of presentations for the Linked Data Items that constitute the metadata graph distilled from the page you are viewing.</li></ul> ODE delivers these capabilities through interaction with REST-based Linked Data Proxy services, such as: <ul><li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/725bcf179b0a92bee43906519563aea4fbcba12d30d3ae61e6fd52c94ca95d88/http%3A//linkeddata.uriburner.com/">the URIBurner.com Public RDFizer Service</a> (default)</li><li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/4914eb82b67b921833bb3e7205ab0abf4c2ce7b739f74d2b4f13c6f711630f9a/http%3A//lod.openlinksw.com/">the OpenLink-hosted Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud Cache</a></li><li>Your own Personal or Shared Instance of Virtuoso and/or OpenLink Data Spaces (ODS)</li><li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d48daa9d169956aa2c709aeb49dddad13eaade2bd55523e0a56da92906f2536c/http%3A//triplr.org/">the Triplr.org RDFizer service</a></li></ul> In the first three cases, the RDFizer services are delivered by the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/fc59ab473e8991d37cd7290259f9955df3b9043edb6fd33783d3d7cbe3c08705/http%3A//virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtSponger">Virtuoso Sponger</a>, a middleware layer built in to all Virtuoso Editions.
