Re: Vapour 2.0, a Linked Data and RDF vocabularies validator

Hi Diego and Sergio,

thanks a lot for publishing this great tool!

I think having this validator is really a big step forward for the Web 
of Data, as we now have a central place where we can point data 
publishers to check their sites and don't have to go through all the 
issues on a one-to-one basis as it commonly happend in the past.

I have put a news about Vapour onto the LOD wikipage

http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData

and have also added the service to the "Testing and Debugging" section 
of the "How to Publish Linked Data" tutorial.

Cheers

Chris
