haven't checked whether they associate keywords.

predicate-object pair) and really doesn't fit well in that table - unless
we enable the specification of void:sparqlendpoint, which we ruled out
because its time-dependent nature (that version of the data may not be in
the sparql endpoint in the future).

various file-based distributions.
