A live notebook: walking the IdRef authority graph

The publication as a hinge

Six small steps take a name from a SOLR search to a person, and from that person to their publications and the co-contributors who connect them, via SPARQL. Reconstructed live, straight from the browser.

Enter ↵ to run. The two network calls hit IdRef's SOLR and SPARQL endpoints directly.
