It was good to see everybody who made it to sunny Edinburgh over the weekend.
I've put together a very simple LSID resolver that returns RDF metadata for a LSID. I wanted something very simple, so all you do is stick your LSID on the end of http://lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk/, e.g.
http://lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk/urn:lsid:ubio.org:namebank:2735664
http://lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk/urn:lsid:lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk: predicate:isBasionymOf
It's far from bullet proof, and not as pretty as other resolvers. However, it means you see the RDF straight away, and if you wanted to aggregate the RDF for a LSID you could use this to do the resolution for you.
Regards
Rod
