that this is insufficient for zoology & other natural sciences beyond
botany, where we need to be able to support citations like "Pallas 1767", which

<div></div>Hi Steve,
<div><br></div>
<div>I have been lobbying the BHL for this for some time. Most recently in this
blog post.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://www.taxonconcept.org/taxonconcept-blog/2010/8/5/why-linked-open-data-makes-sense-for-biodiversity-informatic.html" target="_blank">http://www.taxonconcept.org/taxonconcept-blog/2010/8/5/why-linked-open-data-makes-sense-for-biodiversity-informatic.html</a><br>
</div>
<div><br>What I have realized is that, for many works that are out of copyright,
Google books has already scanned and converted them to PDF. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You can use these, even extract the relevant PDF pages as long as you keep
the Google watermark. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This is what I have done for the Cougar.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.html" target="_blank">http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.html</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>For more recent works you may be able to link to the article PDF. As in
this spider example.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/2mqjL.html" target="_blank">http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/2mqjL.html</a><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>We also need a URI for to uniquely identify authors and in the absence of a
better solution, I have been using, and in some cases creating, entries in
Wikipedia which currently has over 5,000 taxonomic author profiles.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>This results in usable RDF via DBpedia. As you can see in the RDF in this
example.</div>
<div><br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>And in the Knowledge Base</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>That said, I have also been experimenting with this.</div>

was reviewing some of the previous posts on taxon name usages in an<br>attempt
to understand them better. I have learned that the Global Names<br>Index
is an attempt to catalog taxon names and that it is possible to<br>generate a
URI that points to a name there. Is there a parallel effort<br>to do the
same thing for literature references? In other words, if I<br>want to
describe the TNU:<br>Andropogon virginicus L. sec. Radford et al. (1968)<br>I
think I could find a URI GUID for the name Andropogon virginicus .<br>But is
there some place where I could find a unique identifier, or<br>better a URL,
or best a URI providing RDF/XML for Linnaeus 1753 (the<br>author and
publication for the name) and for Radford et al.1968 (the<br>author and
publication that expresses the usage I'm intending).<br><br>I suppose that
this question has previously been answered in the in the<br>many posts on
taxon names, concepts, etc. However, since usually my<br>brain goes numb
