Dear all:

The volunteer hosting GoodRelations data at

>>>> http://openean.kaufkauf.net/id/

had to take down the respective site, because he receives such an awful amount of requests from various Chinese IPs that he would be poor quickly.

I suppose this is a script running at a university server, trying to gather GoodRelations data for an ISWC submission or similar.

If this is your script, please stop it!

Apologies for spreading this so broadly, but the crawler does not identify itself and the IPs are from a pretty broad range.

Best
Martin Hepp
