Re: please review: draft W3C SWIG Note 'Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets' (voiD)

Dear all,
Thanks for the great work you did, this document clarifies large part of the
issues I was  facing   providing the VOID description for my datasets.

I have just a little remark concerning  section 4.2:  it introduces
void:uriSpace, but  distinctions in the use of
void:uriRegexPattern\void:uriSpace  are not so clear. Why don't use always
void:uriRegexPattern?
I think  an example  where void:uriSpace is handier than
void:uriRegexPattern would be worth.

Regards,
Riccardo
