OK, thanks. I'll start by generating the zoological Nomenclatural example, using real ZooBank records. Following your lead on the Species Checklist example, I'll create one normalized version, and one demoralized. If no one else on this list can generate a real example for the botanical and/or bacteriological Code, then I'll see if I can make one. I just can't give it resolvable GUIDs (yet). By early 2011, we should have a functional instance of GNUB, at which time I'll swap out the examples to that.
As the subject line indicates, I also have a question:
At the moment, the ZooBank HTTP proxy only resolves to human-readable HTML: http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:68376390-7809-46FF-9EC4-1371B4AA D0FF
However, later today I want to modify the site to redirect appropriate requests to RDF: http://zoobank.org/authority/metadata/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6837639 0-7809-46FF-9EC4-1371B4AAD0FF
My understanding is that several people have opted for a solution that uses HTTP_USER_AGENT to determine whether the client is a browser vs. some other app, and if a browser then return HTML, and if another app then return RDF.
My question is: is this an acceptable (interim) solution? Or is there a better way to deal with this? Yes, I know what we should probably do is return XML with a stylesheet, but that will take me more than this afternoon to implement.
Please forgive me if I've just revealed and/or emphasized how uneducated I am as a web developer....
Aloha, Rich

Maybe we should start with term-value pairs, but I think it
would also
be useful to render each in XML and RDF as well.
technology specific examples are surely needed at some point. Once we have a set of key value pair examples we could translate them into xml, rdf and csv so we have the same data in various formats.
The trouble with RDF though is that we dont yet have any guidelines. Once Steve et al have settled on something we can then take the rdf examples forward.
what about a nomenclatural example, maybe separate ones
for each code?
Yes, I'll get on it tomorrow (today is a full schecule).
I notice the existing examples don't use GUIDs. Is that
intentional,
or should I use actual examples with resolbavle GUIDs?
Do whatever you have as real data examples. If you happen to have guids in gnub or alike thats brilliant. There is a recommendation to use guids for ids, but its no requirement. Most datasources dont have guids and there is no need to forces them. The example I used for mammal species of the world is real data - and they dont have guids.
