If you define the convention for the value for hasScientificNameID to be a http-resolvable URI, then that obviates the need for the second, doesn't it? LSIDs, as much as Handles, DOIs and other non-HTTP URI identifiers either have already or will have to have proxy forms that make them resolvable HTTP URIs, or otherwise I would argue there is little use for them in the standard. What is the use-case that requires the LSID, but not other non-HTTP identifier schemes, to be in a separate element, if there is already an element that can be expected to have a resolvable HTTP URI? What is special about LSIDs in this respect? -hilmar -- =========================================================== : Hilmar Lapp -:- Durham, NC -:- informatics.nescent.org : =========================================================== _______________________________________________ tdwg-content mailing list tdwg-content@lists.tdwg.org http://lists.tdwg.org/mailman/listinfo/tdwg-content
