Most Linked Data browsers list all facts about an entity in an equal manner.In this paper, we present a prototype for identifying unexpected facts about entities, i.e., those facts that deviate from the expectations.To that end, we use an attribute-wise method for anomaly detection, which is also capable of providing qualitative explanations for the anomalies found.By comparing an entity at hand to a reference set of similar entities, we can provide information on how the entity at hand differs from the typical patterns found for similar entities, and display those unexpected facts together with a short explanation.
