Re: [call for comments] voiD 1.0

After a short discussion with Michael by IRC about the issue he pointed
with my usage of void:target property, we got some conclusions.

Basically while voID is not extended, many dataset don't have a proper
URI. So there are two ways to refer them: URI vs Blank Node, a IFP
property (in this case foaf:homepage) does the magic in both cases. I
know that many people hate blank nodes, and I would like not to need to
use here, but in this case I prefer to use it and wait until the dataset
publish a proper URI.

IMO this is not just interesting for voID, but the scope of this
discussion is bigger for the whole Semantic Web in general: do we want
to create this (artificial) URIs? What's your opinion?

Cheers,
