If you find an url to an object, how to find the tracker(object)

[o-jasper]

One idea is to basically for instance use a regular search engine,(api) and then look at results from that, seeing which are objects, and just listing those using the information thingscript provides.(Possibly refining/sorting the search that way)

But then you do have to be able to figure out where the thing list is first.

As i understand it, this issue suggests the object list just being a list of URLs, and having each object be a json/html-with-microdata(didnt know about microdata before..) file. With the convention that the json file is in the same directory as the object url that might resolve the issue already.

Utilising search engines would certainly be one way - and I think the microdata/Linked Data approach could yield something worthwhile.

Of course there is nothing to say that the thing metadata cannot have an attribute giving the URL of the tracker it comes from.
