I thought I should be clear that my point is not that there is something wrong with the DarwinCore for what it is good for, it is that I think we should develop some additional form that works well as LOD data.<div><br></div>
<div>Perhaps expressed after processing by GBIF?<br><div><br></div><div>Also the web applications just serve as a framework for exposing the data structure. </div><div><br></div><div>I would <b>not</b> suggest that my occurrence example web app is ideal for showing / editing BioBlitz records.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The idea I am trying to get across is meshups and possibilities of structured LOD data</div><div><br></div><div>For example this view from Sig.ma <a href="http://sig.ma/search?pid=ba0db41b7772e1b06231a8975dcf903b">http://sig.ma/search?pid=ba0db41b7772e1b06231a8975dcf903b</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://sig.ma/search?pid=ba0db41b7772e1b06231a8975dcf903b"></a>I recently changed the occurrence RDF slightly and ID'd two previously unidentified wasps.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/9f0fc9c7-a522-44d8-a0c3-327fea9351f0.html">http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/9f0fc9c7-a522-44d8-a0c3-327fea9351f0.html</a><br>

<div><br></div><div>The occurrence HTML and RDF are linked at the end of each row. </div><div><br></div><div>The species names on the table link to the species concepts (the most interesting thing there is the RDF structure and LOD representations)</div>
<div><br></div><div>A new Pivot View should be online shortly.</div><div><br></div><div>The entire dataset is described with a void file and CKAN description <a href="http://ckan.net/package/taxonconcept">http://ckan.net/package/taxonconcept</a><br>

<br>I am sorry if some had problems with the earlier Pivot SPARQL query.</div><div><br></div><div>The <a href="http://bit.ly">bit.ly</a> link runs a SPARQL query which feeds into MS Pivot for viewing. For some people Pivot had problems parsing the results of the SPARQL query.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In the future the current working Pivot example will be available here: <a href="http://www.delicious.com/taxonconcept.org">http://www.delicious.com/taxonconcept.org</a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.delicious.com/taxonconcept.org"></a>This and other Pivot example can be found here: <a href="http://www.delicious.com/kidehen/pivot_collection_app">http://www.delicious.com/kidehen/pivot_collection_app</a><br>
<br></div><div>* The MS Pivot example require Silverlight, which you might already have if you use netflix or similar apps, but they won't work on iPhone or iPad. :-(</div><div><br></div><div>Respectfully,</div><div><br>
