I have cleaned up my ontology* at : http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl

http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owlIt validates here: http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/validator/

Here is a small sample of species concepts, occurrences and related data in one gzipped .rdf

http://lod.taxonconcept.org/txn_base.rdf.gz

It includes these examples: http://lod.taxonconcept.org/examples.html

This small file should allow people to test inferencing etc.

I expect and would encourage people to try it to see if they can find something wrong, or some utility that they would like.

I have a sparql endpoint that is described here: http://www.taxonconcept.org/sparql-endpoint/

The data set should also be available on the LOD Cloud Endpoint

http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql http://lod.openlinksw.com/isparql/

* This is live most of the time except when I am updating the server or data.

The HTML and RDF representations have changed since my last update.

Here is are two examples:

http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/iuCXz.html http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/iuCXz.rdf

http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/iuCXz.rdf http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/dwAmr.html http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/dwAmr.html http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/dwAmr.rdf

http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/dwAmr.rdf* Once I have this worked out I have no problem with TDWG/GBIF/EoL taking this over. I just need a live namespace in which changes can be made quickly.
