Excellent. IODP sounds like an interesting project.
I will just confirm that Index Fungorum is using the TCS-RDF schema.
It is in the middle of being changed so doesnt resolve using the standard
process at present - but is not far away.
I will also dig out my notes for the tutorial I will give at TDWG and sen
dthem to you.
Hi Robert,
I think some of this falls
into my camp so I will answer what I can. I
am sure others will set me
right.
The IPNI and IF have both demonstrated LSID resolvers and I
believe
Zoobank are keen to move in that direction.
The RDF
vocabulary of TCS used by IPNI and IF is pretty stable but needs
to be
integrated into the core TDWG ontology which will no doubt be
discussed at
TDWG in St Louis in October. I hope I can demonstrate a
system for bringing
unity here.
I certainly believe that TDWG should be able to provide the
taxonomic
and nomenclatural semantics for IODP.
The big question is a
service going from <SomeNameString> to <List of
LSIDs of Possible
Names> to <List of Possible Taxa>. Because of cross
nomenclatural
code homonyms (your problem name string could be an
animal, vegetable or
virus) this is not solved by individual
nomenclators alone there needs to be
an indexing service to provide the
look up table. uBio or GBIF look like
good candidates for supplying this
kind of services but there is no reason
why there couldn't be many -
depending on who has the best algorithm this
week.
Anyone else want to add to this?
