Abstract
We propose a conceptual model to describe the provenance information of the existing datasets available according to the Linked Data initiative. Using VoID and PROV, our solution defines useful metadata (e.g., licenses, publishers, server annotations, etc.) about public datasets. We also investigate how this novel approach could be effectively used by existing SPARQL endpoints, enabling a better discoverability and reuse of existing datasets made available via Web services. Several experiments are conducted to facilitate the access to legal datasets in order to enhance and build semantic Web applications.
