Yes. We were looking at LOD Laundromat as a way of harvesting more datasets
for Loupe and also possibility of using its LDF endpoints. May be there are
other ways to integrate Loupe better with LOD Laundromat and we will surely
look into that.

I was looking at the “provenance” tab, and was a bit confused. For example,

Yes. It's a bit confusing. That provenance information was about the
internal index we created for the tool but not about the dataset itself.
But we are in the process of changing that section so that the provenance
explorer will be about the provenance of the dataset itself using the info
we extract from the dataset. We will definitely look into how we can use
DUV for that. We are also planning to include more explorers such as a one
for extracting language metadata, etc.

We extract both OWL and RDFS vocabularies but there is a small glitch in
the generation of that page. We will fix it soon. Thanks a lot for pointing
it out!
