How it works

  1. Rewrite Decide where the RDF can be fetched from the URI (a Turtle version for Wikidata, https for http).
  2. Fetch Your browser requests it directly from the other server. A few sources without permission go through a relay.
  3. Show Collect names and render a table and a graph. Click a link to move to the next resource.

Most fetching needs nothing but the browser, so it holds up as more people use it. Sources without permission that the relay does not cover cannot be read.Details
