[Tdwg-guid] Demise of Phyloinformatics journal
by Roderic Page 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

The Open Access web-only journal "Phyloinformatics" seems to have disappeared, with the Internet address http://www.phyloinformatics.org now up for sale. This means the articles have just disappeared! There weren't many papers published, but some were interesting and have been cited in the mainstream literature. This also illustrates the problems with linking to digital resources using URLs, as opposed to identifiers such as DOIs. With the loss of the domain name, this journal has effectively died. A sobering lesson... Regards Rod ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------- Professor Roderic D. M.

[tdwg-tapir] Attribute nodes in output model mapping
by Renato De Giovanni 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Dear all, I recently noticed that for some reason the specification was saying that attribute nodes in output model mappings should be represented as "parent_node@attr_node" instead of "parent_node/@attr_node". Markus also agreed that this is not consistent with XPath and with the original integration document, so we took the liberty to change the specification and the provider software. Although it's really a minor change, I wanted to send out this message because it can affect people that are already preparing the first output models and testing providers. Best Regards, -- Renato
