<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=531342000-20092006>It would seem that Roger,
Ricardo and Kevin have given you a fair amount of good information overnight (my
time). The only thing I would add, is that Donald has written an 'LSID-roadmap'
that Ricardo, Roger and I have been planning to 'progress' for nearly a
week now. This could also be useful for you. The current plan is to discuss this
Thursday. I'd also like to discuss it with Kevin shortly after. Once that is
done, I'll get back to you.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Excellent. IODP sounds like an interesting project.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will just confirm that Index Fungorum is using the TCS-RDF schema.</DIV>
<DIV>You can see an example by following this url:</DIV>
<DIV><A
href="http://194.203.77.68/authority/metadata/?lsid=urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:213649">http://194.203.77.68/authority/metadata/?lsid=urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:213649</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is in the middle of being changed so doesnt resolve using the standard
process at present - but is not far away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have LSID Launchpad installed:</DIV>
<DIV>- browse to lsidres:config/general.htm</DIV>
<DIV>- go to Edit Authorities</DIV>
<DIV>- add an authority for indexfungorum.org, putting <A
href="http://194.203.77.68/authority/">http://194.203.77.68/authority/</A> in
the host box.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>then enter <A
href="http://194.203.77.68/authority/metadata/?lsid=urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:213649">lsidres:urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:213649</A> into
your browser. This should display some nicely formatted RDF
metadata.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will also dig out my notes for the tutorial I will give at TDWG and sen
dthem to you.</DIV>

<DIV style="COLOR: #000000"><BR>Hi Robert,<BR><BR>I think some of this falls
into my camp so I will answer what I can. I <BR>am sure others will set me
right.<BR><BR>The IPNI and IF have both demonstrated LSID resolvers and I
believe <BR>Zoobank are keen to move in that direction.<BR><BR>The RDF
vocabulary of TCS used by IPNI and IF is pretty stable but needs <BR>to be
integrated into the core TDWG ontology which will no doubt be <BR>discussed at
TDWG in St Louis in October. I hope I can demonstrate a <BR>system for bringing
unity here.<BR><BR>I certainly believe that TDWG should be able to provide the
taxonomic <BR>and nomenclatural semantics for IODP.<BR><BR>The big question is a
service going from <SomeNameString> to <List of <BR>LSIDs of Possible
Names> to <List of Possible Taxa>. Because of cross <BR>nomenclatural
code homonyms (your problem name string could be an <BR>animal, vegetable or
virus) this is not solved by individual <BR>nomenclators alone there needs to be
an indexing service to provide the <BR>look up table. uBio or GBIF look like
good candidates for supplying this <BR>kind of services but there is no reason
why there couldn't be many - <BR>depending on who has the best algorithm this
week.<BR><BR>Anyone else want to add to this?<BR><BR>Roger<BR><BR><BR>Robert

Btw. are there are any exciting news since summer? I am especially<BR>>
