Anna,
Thanks for this. The main question I think needs to be clarified is how much flexibility a data provider is to be allowed in completing the human-readable string. Clearly we do not expect to be able to perform direct string comparisons between two provider's citations, so are these just recommendations of components that should be included, or is the intention to mandate a particular sequence of elements? Which ones are considered (at least more or less) mandatory, and which are optional? I guess we should provide some actual examples of "complete" and "partial" citations and state whether they are regarded as sufficient.

Dear All,
This is the first of several strings that we are sending to the list for consideration and discussion.
++++
Proposed Level 1 Standard
Attached is the basic content we discussed at the TDWG meetings, and which we now need to consider. Could you please consider the contents as set out?
Are there elements anything missing?
Does it meet the need that you envision for this standard?
Do any of you who attended the recent TDWG GUID meeting have anything to bring up related to the LSID/GUID portion?
Thanks,
Anna & Chris
