The long tail: predicates that appear too rarely to warrant their own section. Filter or scroll to find a specific one. Each row links to its source.
Timeline
Timeline axis is valid_time — when each source says the fact was true in the world, not when Dontopedia learned about it. Retracted rows are kept for provenance; coloured stripes indicate the context kind.
