Hi TDWG&#39;ers,<div><br></div><div>I decided that rather than tweak Joel&#39;s RDF by hand it might make more sense to just import the data and express in a different RDF representation.</div><div><br></div><div>These examples are not about the web application or relatively small differences in how to name fields, they are more about how in general to format occurrence records in a way that maximizes their utility.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I added the identified TDWG records to my small set of occurrence examples here: <a href="http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/index.html" target="_blank">http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/index.html</a><br clear="all">
<br></div><div>Here is one example <a href="http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/a5bd890c-c1db-4194-8347-796621105ae6.html" target="_blank">http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/a5bd890c-c1db-4194-8347-796621105ae6.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>On that page are highlighted links that take you into a view of the entity in my sparql endpoint knowledgebase.</div><div><br></div><div>The data is also on the URIburner endpoint which allows a browsable Pivot interface.</div>
