- Japan Search
From a ukiyo-e print to its artist, across national authorities
The Great Wave off Kanagawa at the Tokyo National Museum. The image is shown, and the artist, period and holder open in place. From Hokusai you can jump to the same person at Wikidata, DBpedia, VIAF and the National Diet Library.
https://jpsearch.go.jp/data/cobas-52087 - Japan Search
One person, tied across institutions
Japan Search's name authority for Katsushika Hokusai. Alternative names are listed with kana and English readings, and owl:sameAs ties him to authorities around the world. The graph shows those ties at a glance.
https://jpsearch.go.jp/entity/chname/葛飾北斎 - DBpedia
Linked Data built from Wikipedia
DBpedia's Hokusai. DBpedia redirects its https URIs to an http address, which a browser page cannot follow; Musubi fetches the Turtle file directly instead.
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Hokusai - Library of Congress
A Library of Congress name authority
Hokusai in the Library of Congress authorities (id.loc.gov). The data comes back as deeply nested JSON-LD; variant names and sources can be read in place.
http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80043599 - GeoNames
A place name with coordinates
Tokyo in GeoNames, returned as RDF/XML: names in many languages, coordinates, and a link up to its parent place (Japan).
https://sws.geonames.org/1850147/ - Social-experiment case database
A research project's data, read with its vocabulary
A case from the University of Tokyo's low-carbon social experiments (sedb). The original domain no longer answers, so Musubi reads the published Turtle instead, along with its own vocabulary for property names.
http://low-carbon.k.u-tokyo.ac.jp/059cc1cca31ac7400e89b9d80ec880cb - RailClass
A rail vehicle class, named from Wikidata
ICE T in RailClass, a dataset of rail vehicle classes. Operators and lines are named from Wikidata, and its 3D models and livery colours open automatically.
https://w3id.org/railclass/Q696668 - W3C
Look up a vocabulary term
SKOS's skos:prefLabel. Open a property URI as it is and read its definition. A redirect step loses the CORS permission here, so Musubi fetches the end of the redirect directly.
http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel - schema.org
Pull data out of a web page
The schema.org page for about. It is an ordinary HTML page; Musubi extracts the JSON-LD, microdata and RDFa embedded in it.
https://schema.org/about - National Diet Library
Sources without CORS, read through the relay
Hokusai in the National Diet Library authorities. It returns RDF but does not allow cross-origin reads (CORS), so a browser alone cannot load it. For such sources only, Musubi fetches through a relay server.
