Re: [tdwg-content] Idea for Discussion, Differentiating between "type's" of identifiers

As an example I am of the growing opinion that taxonomic classifications would be rendered perfectly adequately in SKOS - each classification being a free standing thesaurus linked to other thesauri/classifications using the standard SKOS terms.

This is how TreeBASE shows links between OTU labels submitted to it and their matches to uBio NameBank records and NCBI taxonomy records, using the skos:closeMatch predicate (this was deemed appropriate also because the TreeBASE webapp determines these links mostly just by string matching).
