       | 
       | Produpedia takes the sophisticated RDF tuples of DBpedia[1] and
       | somewhat dumbs it down to tables of different categories. This
       | allows for fine-grained search configs, easily shareable by URL.
       | E.g. "List of Grand Prixs on the Nurburgring"[3], also linked on
       | the main page.
       | 
       | Some more details are explained on the site itself.

       | Side note: What I would ultimately like to build - as a 2.0
       | verison, if you will - is an Open Data _Product search engine_
       | with community edits, a free alternative to common commercial
       | ones like Google Shopping, as in a blend of Geizhals.eu and
       | Wikipedia. DBpedia and Wikidata[2] datasets (both related to
       | Wikipedia infoboxes) are not very useful in regards to actual
       | "products", so this is a first step towards that goal. If you
       | think this sounds interesting, want to contribute or have an
       | idea, please contact me!
