[Tdwg-tag] TDWG Reference Model

[Roger Hyam]

Hi Javier,

My intention (which I think I have stated somewhere) is for the outcome 
of this meeting to be the proto-Reference Model document. I envisage it 
evolving into a management document like the ORM but I hadn't thought to 
use the ORM as an example so thanks for pointing that out.
