Re: LOV (was Re: Cultural Heritage Data)

Excellent - I'm glad I asked - that makes sense.
I see I am probably misreading
http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_akt.html
And I may have been misreading those two colours.
But it is actually the case that you say AKT voaf:reliesOn dcterms,, since voaf:metadataVoc is a sub property of voaf:reliesOn.
(As I now understand the tree is saying on that page.)
And of course that means that  dcterms voaf:usedBy AKT.
I still worry that this looks rather misleading, but I can see why it happens.
Best
Hugh

It helped us to make the datasets from our community more visible to our community, without making it a hard pre-requisite to adhere to other communities' requirements.

It looks a bit severe, but I think I understand the motivations: if the cloud admitted isolated nodes, it would have many of them, and that would look weird... But of course that does not make your contribution less interesting. On the contrary, the BL work has incredible potential for our domain!

We can now run single federated queries based on semantic alignment without the need to insert specific linking triples. When we applied to advertise our site on the LOD cloud we were turned down because we hadn’t inserted specific links to other data sources. I realise that I could just stuff in a few links to Dbpedia to get accepted - but given that we can harmonise data to a very high degree with another open CRM RDF data source perhaps we should still be allowed formal acceptance to the open data community.
