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

Thank you very much, Jerven. It's a relatively new topic for me, but I'm
numb to see how much there is to do to document LOD datasets. To take the
example of Wikidata, it took a lot of effort to produce the metadata needed
to include it in the LOD cloud diagram
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lucas_Werkmeister_(WMDE)/LOD_Cloud>...
and nobody seems to have a clear idea of the number of RDF datasets linked
to it.

There is clearly a problem in the documentation of RDF datasets, and the
LOD cloud does not seem to me at all a faithful glimpse.
