Re: [tdwg-content] most GUIDs/URIs for names/taxon stuff not ready for prime time

Yes, this is one reason this part of the GNI is still experimental, but the idea is that these can be further developed to expose RDF that

1. Indicates what contributing databases contain that namestring
2. Links to the resolution group which contains all the variations of

that name string (It might make the most sense to have the linkto's there) 3) These will then be tied to various types of TaxonConcepts, TNU's etc. I can't speak for the GNI or GNA but my understanding is that the initial goal is to get all the names used into one very large repository.

Good luck, I'll stay tuned. But I stick with my assessment of "not currently ready for prime time". Steve
