Alasdair, Thank you very much for this feedback! > Looking at the vocabulary definition for the property [2] it seems that the interpretation in Section 4.4 is the correct one. I *think* you've indeed spotted an inconsistency in the guide. If others (Richard, Keith, Jun maybe?) could have a quick sanity check as well pls ... In general, if you (or others) find a bug or have a feature request, please feel free to use the VoID issue tracker [1] to record this - it tremendously helps us keeping track of things as well as planning for the next release. > Will another property be added as the inverse of void:subset, or should the declaration of linksets being subsets of a dataset be made in the dataset description? There are currently no plans to include an inverse property of void:subset, AFAICT.
