Hi I'm attaching a copy of an RDF file of IPNI data which is in RDF/TCS. (I thought it it was on the wiki but now I can't find it) which covers all ranks and various examples (records with basionyms, records with types etc.) If you look on the wiki there is also information about our LSID server. We've not been working on it for a while so it's pretty much in the state we left it after the GUIDs workshop. Over the next few weeks we hope to get back going with it and update the wiki particularly with the details of how we handle versioning. There are also some notes on the wiki about things I had problems with with the version of TCS/RDF that Roger had circulated. I don't know if it's been changed since ... HTH Sally
Hi everyone,
I am in the process of putting together the LSID service component of Zoobank.org, after a few initial hiccups and difficulties I have a basic service up and running in the development environment.
Now I have arrived at the contentious issue of what data/metadata to return and in which flavour.
I have a few questions...
1. What format should I return the metadata response in? From discussions with Roger it seems appropriate to go with RDF/TCS for the metadata reponse. Would this be a good way to go, and does anyone have any static examples of such a response?
2. If a Data service were implemented, should the response simply be the LSID or the taxon name as we don't currently hold any holotype photos etc.
2. Is there any standard scheme for LSID discovery? i.e. Would it be a good/bad idea to extend the LSID service to allow machine queries of LSIDs by taxon name rather than discovering them through the web interface?
Any comments and suggestions are very welcome!
Regards, Peter.
