Based on the URI noted in an entry of the register of persons from the <ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="http://www.dnb.de/DE/Standardisierung/GND/gnd_node.html"><hi rendition="#i">Common Norm File</hi></ref> (GND), further data can be obtained via the GND web service "Entity Facts". Thus, with the help of the "Entity Facts", on the one hand, portraits are faded in directly from Wikimedia Commons, and on the other hand, information on (family, friendship, etc.) relationships between persons is obtained. These are also automatically evaluated in the ehd on the basis of the GND URIs and then displayed to the users accordingly (see, for example, the <ref xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" target="https://edition-humboldt.de/H0015944?l=en">entry on Samuel Thomas Soemmerring</ref>).
