Re: Use the void and schema.org [Was; Re: LODAtlas 1.0 release - Browsing Linked Data Catalogs]

Dear all,

sorry if my question seems profane, but is there a standard or a consensus
proposal on the best way to store Void metadata in a LOD dataset? something
like "at the root of the site, in a file called void.rdf, like a
robot.txt". I see for example that DBpedia has a Void page
<http://dbpedia.org/void/page/Dataset>, but it is impossible to find it
without crawling the entire web site.

Regards,

Ettore Rizza
