Overview

The Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets (voiD) is an RDF vocabulary and a set of instructions that enables the discovery and usage of linked datasets. A linked dataset is a collection of data, published and maintained by a single provider, available as RDF on the Web, where at least some of the resources in the dataset are identified by dereferencable URIs.
