Hi,

thanks for your feedback.
We already use prefix.cc for Archivos automatic ontology discovery (see
https://archivo.dbpedia.org/rating), but if you have other suggestions feel
free to let us know!

Unfortunately the default order of the archive has no actual meaning (maybe
we could change that), but you can check out the tests of your ontology at
https://archivo.dbpedia.org/info?o=http://purl.org/xtypes/.
As you can see there the ontology has a small parsing error, but that can
be fixed in a few minutes (see https://archivo.dbpedia.org/rating for
fixing problems Archivo finds). Also let me know if the explanation of the
rating or hints for fixing are somehow unclear, I'm sure that can be
explained better.

Thanks for having a look on Archivo and have a nice day,
Denis Streitmatter
