Cool, how do I for eg. get the immediate data around http://openean.kaufkauf.net/id/EanUpc_0001067792600 
  out? It's not obvious how you request it.

Do I just issue SPARQL to somewhere? The SPARQL link at the bottom  
goes to a page about SPARQL.
I poked around for a bit and tried
http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql?query=DESCRIBE+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fopenean.kaufkauf.net%2Fid%2FEanUpc_0001067792600%3E&output=n3
but it gives an error, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.
