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

All URNs tell you what they are by their urn prefix (not necessarily how to resolve them)

LSID do not tell this, you only know they are URNs, which means the semantic web stops here. I believe and may be wrong, that switching between a http-proxied-form-of-an-LSID and a pure LSID requires rules that semantic web processors cannot process as sameAs.

I believe this implies that if you want LSIDs in the semantic web, you need to inform about the http-proxied versions and pure LSIDs in *parallel*.

Keeping it parallel requires some design pattern. This could be a structure inside scientific name of course, but since both identifier forms are attributes of the class Pete's proposal made a lot of sense to me FOR AN RDF implementation.
