A tool for generating structured descriptor documents for HTTP accessible resources. HTML+RDFa based Linked Data is the default Descriptor Document format. Other formats are available via page hosted links or content negotiation.

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:

• View Page Description -- which provides a structured description (metadata) of the page you are viewing
• 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.

ODE delivers these capabilities through interaction with REST-based Linked Data Proxy services, such as:

• the URIBurner.com Public RDFizer Service (default)
• the OpenLink-hosted Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud Cache
• Your own Personal or Shared Instance of Virtuoso and/or OpenLink Data Spaces (ODS)
• the Triplr.org RDFizer service

In the first three cases, the RDFizer services are delivered by the Virtuoso Sponger, a middleware layer built in to all Virtuoso Editions. Distillation of structured descriptions from any Web resource into RDF is enabled by a broad collection of "Sponger Cartridges," available for all Virtuoso instances.
