Re: Vocabulary alignment

Hi Fadi,

I see. It seems a bit unfortunate that void:Dataset was defined so strictly. Maybe it should be a sub-type of dcat:Dataset then.

I wonder if http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Dataset would be appropriate for mapping.

Anyway, happy with all the comments, thanks! :-)

Regards,
   Simon
