%META:TOPICPARENT{name="ODSTipsAndTricksGuide"}% ---+Understanding ODS Linked Data Objects This guide uses an example profile to help you quickly understand key aspects of the Linked Data automatically generated by ODS and its application-specific Linked Data Spaces. This understanding unveils how ODS provides a productive solution for creating, exploiting, and deploying Linked Data based on application interactions, whether orchestrated directly by end-users or indirectly via RESTful service interfaces. ---++ Getting Linked Data related to an ODS Object 1 [[GetAPersonalURIIn5MinutesOrLess][Create an ODS account]] using a variety of options, such as our [[http://id.myopenlink.net/ods/][public WebID Demo instance]]. 1 Update your profile, and you can view links about yourself, similar to these examples -- * An entity of interest for which you can substitute your own new ODS-based WebID. Here we start with Kingsley Idehen's ODS-based WebID -- [[http://id.myopenlink.net/dataspace/person/KingsleyUyiIdehen][http://id.myopenlink.net/dataspace/person/KingsleyUyiIdehen]]. * The basic Virtuoso Entity Description Page, produced through the Virtuoso Sponger -- [[http://id.myopenlink.net/about/html/http://id.myopenlink.net/dataspace/person/KingsleyUyiIdehen][http://id.myopenlink.net/about/html/http://id.myopenlink.net/dataspace/person/KingsleyUyiIdehen]]. You can see a similar page about yourself by changing the latter part of the URI from Kingsley's ODS-based WebID to your own -- http://id.myopenlink.net/about/html/<put-WebID-here>. * An Entity Description Page allowing Faceted Exploration -- [[http://id.myopenlink.net/describe/?url=http://id.myopenlink.net/dataspace/person/KingsleyUyiIdehen][http://id.myopenlink.net/describe/?url=http://id.myopenlink.net/dataspace/person/KingsleyUyiIdehen]]. Again, you can see a similar page about yourself by changing the URL value from Kingsley's ODS-based WebID to your own -- http://id.myopenlink.net/describe/?url=<put-WebID-here>. 1 Advanced users of Linked Data technology can also pass ODS Object URIs through HTTP trace and debugging tools as demonstrated here: * The [[http://linkeddata.informatik.hu-berlin.de/uridbg/index.php][URI Debugger]] lets you [[http://linkeddata.informatik.hu-berlin.de/uridbg/index.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fid.myopenlink.net%2Fdataspace%2Fperson%2FKingsleyUyiIdehen&useragentheader=&acceptheader=text%2Frdf%2Bn3][request and view Raw Entity Description Data in different formats, specified by MIME type]]. To see your own data, submit your ODS-based WebID [[http://linkeddata.informatik.hu-berlin.de/uridbg/index.php][through their form]]. * The [[http://redbot.org/][Redbot HTTP analyzer]] explains [[http://redbot.org/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fid.myopenlink.net%2Fdataspace%2Fperson%2FKingsleyUyiIdehen][several aspects of the HTTP interaction]]. To see your own data, submit your ODS-based WebID [[http://redbot.org/][through their form]]. ---++Related * [[ODSTipsAndTricksGuide][ODS Tips and Tricks Collection]] * [[http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtDeployingLinkedDataGuide][Deploying Linked Data]]
