> I absolutely agree that the adoption of VoID is a good argument for working on a next version.
> Also, I think that there are a few features that could be really helpful for the community when selecting and consuming linked data.
> For instance, in [11] the authors state (and I agree) "that there is currently no mechanism to capture the conceptual description of a dataset."
> This is part of what I would like to start thinking about.
> I would not want to "compete" with other vocabularies such as dcat, etc.
