Description

The Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets (VoID) is an RDF Schema vocabulary for expressing metadata about RDF datasets. It is intended as a bridge between the publishers and users of RDF data, with applications ranging from data discovery to cataloging and archiving of datasets. This document provides a formal definition of the new RDF classes and properties introduced for VoID. It is a companion to the main specification document for VoID, Describing Linked Datasets with the VoID Vocabulary.

Datatype Properties

classesdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#classes
Description The total number of distinct classes in a void:Dataset. In other words, the number of distinct resources occuring as objects of rdf:type triples in the dataset.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc
Range(s) xsd:integerc

distinct objectsdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#distinctObjects
Description The total number of distinct objects in a void:Dataset. In other words, the number of distinct resources that occur in the object position of triples in the dataset. Literals are included in this count.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc
Range(s) xsd:integerc

distinct subjectsdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#distinctSubjects
Description The total number of distinct subjects in a void:Dataset. In other words, the number of distinct resources that occur in the subject position of triples in the dataset.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc
Range(s) xsd:integerc

number of documentsdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#documents
Description The total number of documents, for datasets that are published as a set of individual documents, such as RDF/XML documents or RDFa-annotated web pages. Non-RDF documents, such as web pages in HTML or images, are usually not included in this count. This property is intended for datasets where the total number of triples or entities is hard to determine. void:triples or void:entities should be preferred where practical.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc
Range(s) xsd:integerc

number of entitiesdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#entities
Description The total number of entities that are described in a void:Dataset.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc
Range(s) xsd:integerc

number of propertiesdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#properties
Description The total number of distinct properties in a void:Dataset. In other words, the number of distinct resources that occur in the predicate position of triples in the dataset.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc
Range(s) xsd:integerc

number of triplesdp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#triples
Description The total number of triples contained in a void:Dataset.
Domain(s) void:Datasetc

URI spacedp

URI http://rdfs.org/ns/void#uriSpace
Description A URI that is a common string prefix of all the entity URIs in a void:Dataset.
