On the point of licensing...  Why do more data sets not include links to the
relevant copyright statements and/or licenses with cc:license [1] ,
dc:license etc.? The CC RDF schema as far as I remember was the first time I
ever saw RDF with it embedded in HTML comments hoping that someone would see
it and recognise what it meant but I haven't seen it in the Linked Data
world yet.
