link:moreData would be mostly for RDF crawlers, to make sure that a
crawler can reach the complete dataset from any document.
In the context of D2R Server, we have one (usually small) RDF
document for each resource. Each of those has a link:moreData pointer
to a "navigation" document which allows the crawler to reach all
other resources (possibly over multiple steps).
Would a simple "<http://.../moreDataDocument> a rdfs:Resource" in
each document suffice? Maybe. I think it's a bit too weak. I think
it's worth distinguishing between "Foo exists." and "By retrieving
Foo, you may find other information that I thought is worth pointing
to." But maybe you're right and it's unnecessary.
