OpenLink Data Explorer Extension for Firefox

Simply go to the OpenLink Data Explorer Home Page, download the extension, and then whenever you encounter a page of interest, use the main or context-menu options labeled "Describe Page" or "View Linked Data" to obtain Web addressable resource descriptions in HTML or RDF.

Alternatively, use the following bookmarklet:

Web Publishers

Simply include the following in the <head/> section of your (X)HTML page (static or dynamically generated):

<link rel="meta"

type="[required mimetype]"
href="http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/<URLscheme>/<hostname>/<localpart>"
