I left all of the (stale) preceding untrimmed for 'direct' background 
context.

My comments ranging from rdap to repology was all about the availability 
of *client packages* for openrdap in various distro/s.

Your link is about the availability of a web-based rdap function.

Lotsa diff between web-based rdap and a particular client package in a 
distro/s repo/s.

There is also an openrdap site here:
https://www.openrdap.org/
