Dear Gregor,
For the benefit of those not at TAG 1, can you please explain why "LSIDs are not interoperable with semantic web technologies"?

Note that part of my concern about the use of concept when talking about classes/properties/data elements is that I more and more believe we will want to use ontology reasoners for uses other than software design, i.e. as part of what we currently consider data (taxon names, concepts, rank hierarchy, parts of organisms, properties of organisms, etc.). All these are ontological concepts, and efforts www.plantontology.org do use OWL to reason on them.
The SDD presentation (the one not held in EDI, attached) contained some examples how we might want to query our data - in ways that OWL-for-software- design seems not to cover - and which using LSIDs would even prevent.
Please discuss:
