Looks great Rod. Really nice stuff.
I need to look at the errors and warnings and work out what is going on in detail when I turn back to looking at LSID. Hope to suggest additions/improvements in the near future.
Keep the site up as I'll use it for testing - better than Launchpad methinks!
All the best,
Roger

I've tweaked the LSID tester tool mentioned in a previous posting. The tester now lives at http://linnaeus.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/tester, and has the following changes:
- The RDF metadata can be displayed as a graph in PNG and SVG formats
(you can also get the underlying graph file which is AT&T's dot format)
- An additional test that produces a warning if the HTTP binding for
the authority is anything other than a server address (i.e., URLs with paths generate a warning)
- Some minor cosmetic changes to make it a little less hideous on the
eyes if you have the misfortune to use Internet Explorer 6
- I've added some example LSIDs so users have somewhere to start.
Still very crude and loads of limitations/bugs...
Users of recent versions of Firefox will be disappointed with the SVG graphs. I suggest installing Adobe's SVG plugin and using this extension (http://rr.latenightpc.com/wp/archives/2005/06/10/firefox-extension- for-turning-built-in-svg-on-and-off/) to turn native SVG support off.
