Re: LOD publishing question

Hi
if i'm not wrong sindice etc needs to crawl the endpoint starting from a
semantic sitemap, or a VOID / DCAT or similar metadata. As D2RQ provides a
default mapping in VOID (if I'm not wrong), maybe you should check the
mapping and explicitly extends it writing the files for resources and
datasets metadata. How you tried this?
