The authority currently serves up exactly the same basic xml that is served by the IF web service (see
http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/IndexFungorumLSIDs.htm). The same xml is returned for both the metadata and the data at this stage - the LSID data will change later to something that we decide is the "unchangeable set of bytes" for a particular taxon name.
The next step will be to return a more usefule format - RDF based on the TCS schema seems to be the desired option. I'm not sure how to approach this if anyone has any suggestions (ie the RDF version of TCS)? As it is a prototype, I could add "dummy" RDF predicates for the TCS elements required for an IF name, eg
"http://www.tdwg.org/schemas/tcs/1.01/ScientificName/Simple", or create real temprary ones such as "urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:predicates:123" specifically for IF. Anyone with more RDF experience have any suggestions?
