LSID manuscript

[Donald Hobern]

Rod,

Thanks for this.  It's a really helpful overview of the integration of LSIDs
and RDF (and indeed of GUIDs and metadata in general).

Subject: LSID manuscript

I've finally managed to put down some ideas on LSIDs, metadata, and
taxonomic names in the form of a manuscript. It's a bit rough, but I
thought members of this list might find it of interest. You can grab a
PDF here: http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/examples/lsid.pdf

The web site http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/examples has
links to some example RDF files that are mentioned in the manuscript
(where they are trimmed to save space).

I'd welcome any comments.

Regards

Rod
