Yes, VoID is definitely useful for a publisher P1 to publish some
assertions that they are linking their dataset D1 with another dataset
D2 published by publisher P2.
But the question remains as to how P2 is to discover that P1 has
published that description :-) I guess a person working at P1 sending
an email to someone working at P2 could work ... but I was just
wondering if something more mechanical could work at scale?
Maybe there could be (or is already?) a service which you could ping
with your VoID document URIs, which publishers could then query to see
who is using their stuff?
