[ckan-dev] VoiD metadata at http://semantic.ckan.net/sparql

Mon Aug 19 10:59:51 UTC 2013

Hi,

I would like to ask whether "dcat:distribution" is the only property 
that can be used to get the VoiD metadata of LOD data sets in the Data 
Hub SPARQL endpoint.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Cristina
