The OpenLink Data Explorer Extension

What is the OpenLink Data Explorer Extension? The OpenLink Data Explorer (ODE) is a browser extension (currently available for Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Internet Explorer with additional browser support to follow) that adds a new option to the realm of Web User Agent functionality, in the form of new menu options for viewing Data Sources associated with Web Pages. Why is the OpenLink Data Explorer Extension Important? ODE allows Web users to explore the raw data and entity relationships that underly the Web resources it processes. The extension enables users to switch between Hypertext and Hyperdata link traversal of Web data. Product Architecture ODE uses a modular architecture to orchestrate component activities according to the M-V-C pattern. Orchestrated components, referred to as "Cartridges," deliver functionality comprising data extraction and modelling (Model), data display and presentation (View), and actions based upon and/or guided by that data (Controller). Each component is independent of the others, and all are coupled with ODE via HTTP messaging.
