The GBIF Secretariat now has a test LSID resolver running to access TaxonConcepts based on the data from the Catalogue of Life 2005 Annual Checklist. See http://wiki.gbif.org/guidwiki/wikka.php?wakka=LSIDResolveForTaxonConceptsCoL for more information. This is based on a simple mapping of the data into TCS and then representing the information as rather simple RDF metadata.
Thanks,
Donald
