It almost feels like someone doesn’t want Wikidata in
there? Maybe
that website is maintained by DBpedia fans? Just thinking out loud
here because DBpedia is very popular in the academic world and
Wikidata a huge threat for that popularity.

I'm pretty sure that Wikidata is doing better
than 90% of the current
bubbles in the diagram.
If they wanted to have Wikidata in the diagram it would have been
there before it was too small to read it. :)

Thanks for the corrections.
So
https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q42 is *the* Wikidata IRI for
Douglas
Adams. Retrieving from this IRI results in a 303 See Other to
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q42, which (I
guess) is the
main IRI for representations of Douglas Adams and other pages with
information about him.
From
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q42 content
negotiation can be used to get the JSON representation (the
default), other
representations including Turtle, and human-readable
information. (Well
actually I'm not sure that this is really correct. It appears
that instead
of directly using content negotiation, another 303 See Other is
used to
provide an IRI for a document in the requested format.)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q42.json and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q42.ttl are the
useful
machine-readable documents containing the Wikidata information
about Douglas
Adams. Content negotiation is not possible on these pages.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42 is the IRI that produces a
human-readable
version of the information about Douglas Adams. Content
negotiation is not
possible on this page, but it does have link rel="alternate" to the
machine-readable pages.
Strangely this page has a link rel="canonical" to itself.
Shouldn't that
link be to
https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q42? There is a
human-visible
link to this IRI, but there doesn't appear to be any
machine-readable link.
RDF links to other IRIs for Douglas Adams are given in RDF pages by
properties in the wdtn namespace. Many, but not all, identifiers are
handled this way. (Strangely ISNI (P213) isn't even though it is
linked on
the human-readable page.)
So it looks as if Wikidata can be considered as Linked Open Data
but maybe
some improvements can be made.

The http
IRIs
redirect
to https IRIs.
That's right.
As far as I can tell no content negotiation is
done.
No, you're mistaken. Your tried the URL of a wikipage in your
curl
command.
Those are for human consumption, thus not
available in turtle.
The "real IRIs" of Wikidata entities are like this:
https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q{NUMBER}
<https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q%7BNUMBER%7D>
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q%7BNUMBER%7D>
which is the identifier of a schema:Dataset. Then, if you HTTP
GET these
URIs, you can content negotiate them to JSON
(
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q{NUMBER}.json
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q%7BNUMBER%7D.json>)
or to
turtle
(
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q{NUMBER}.ttl
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q%7BNUMBER%7D.ttl>).
Suprisingly, there is no connection between the entity IRIs and
the wikipage
URLs. If one was given the IRI of an entity from
Wikidata, and
had no
further information about how Wikidata works,
they would not be
able to
retrieve HTML content about the entity.
BTW, I'm not sure the implementation of content negotiation in
Wikidata
is
correct because the server does not tell me the
format of the
resource to
which it redirects (as opposed to what DBpedia
does, for instance).
