[tdwg-tag] LSID Sourceforge URL & LSID Best Practices

[Richard Pyle]

Hi All,

Gail Kampmeier just called my attention to the fact that
http://lsids.sourceforge.net/ is not resolving properly (results in an
error: "Cannot find configuration. This file is probably executed from the
wrong location." -- whatever the hell that means).  Is it now necessary to
link to http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsid/ instead?

The reason this came up is that, following an earlier (and still extant?)
TDWG recommendation/best practices, I include the orange "LSID" icon next to
the LSIDs as displaye don the human-readible ZooBank pages.  For example:

http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:1C82C4FB-C439-4423-BBB0-75FAEA15
7AC2

Immediately to the right of the LSID you'll see the icon.  I made this icon
a link to the sourceforge site (which I guess I should now change to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsid/).  Is this still an appropriate use
of, and link for, the icon?  Should the link do something else (like return
RDF)?

Thoughts, insights welcome!

Aloha,
Rich
