Hi Guys, I am putting together the TAG-1 meeting report and so far I have too little on TAPIR. My knowledge largely comes from the original proposal that Markus and Renato did back in 2004 and it has come a long way since then. I have followed some but not all of the debates and changes. Would it be possible for you to come up with a one page summary of TAPIR as it is now. Just a high level summary of the protocol, the different message types/operations and what they consists. Perhaps a paragraph on the filtering and an indication of the current areas you are working on. A page like this on the protocol wiki would be really useful for a whole bunch of people not just me. Please excuse me if this exists and I just haven't found it. Many thanks, Roger -- ------------------------------------- Roger Hyam Technical Architect Taxonomic Databases Working Group ------------------------------------- http://www.tdwg.org roger@tdwg.org +44 1578 722782 -------------------------------------
