Re: Dataset URIs and metadata.

Hi,
you might also find useful (to get a more complete view that includes 
licenses, provenance, etc.) to check out "Publishing Data about Data" 
http://linkeddatabook.com/editions/1.0/#htoc45 (from the book "Linked 
Data_Evolving the Web into a Global Space")

Best regards,
Myriam
