Hello, I have just placed a Linked Data dataset online and now I am struggling with finding the best way to publish the metadata of the dataset. I wonder if there are best practices for referencing a dataset and its metadata, and for linking the two. I did find out that using the Vocabulary of Interlinked Data (VoID) <http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/interest/void/> is a good way to publish the metadata of a dataset. But I still need some guidance. I have come up with three questions: 1) Is it common practice/recommendable to regard a dataset a resource? If it is, then all datasets should have a URI, right? 2) If having a dataset URI is a good thing, what should be behind the URI? Should dereferencing the URI lead to the dataset metadata (a VoID file for example)? 3) If dereferencing a dataset URI leads to the dataset metadata, should there be separate HTML and RDF versions of the metadata? Or is it better to have a HTML page with embedded (RDFa) RDF data? Thanks in advance for your help, Frans
