I have posted some simmary information on the status of the TDWG Ontologies and Darwin Core on the VoMaG Group's Wiki at http://community.gbif.org/pg/pages/view/29079/a-review-of-the-tdwg-ontologie... There is a link to a discussion thread on the site. This is somewhat untested technology but Éamonn thinks the Group Discussion pages may be the most effective way to conduct discussions for the VoMaG group. Steve -- Steven J.
