I am very sad that we never managed to get into a deeper discussion with the Nexus community. I met Wayne Maddison once and presented SDD (which tried to include NEXUS in the analysis, and contains several aspects specifically for phylogenetics), but I can understand that given their rather separate phylogenetic group, they find it easier to build very closely on the existing Nexus rather than searching for a combined view of DELTA and taxonomic descriptions. If there is any chance getting involved I might try to invest time into it, but Hilmar Lapps email was the first time I heard about NexML being at such a stage at all. I just do not cope following with all the development. Gregor 2009/2/18 Roger Hyam <rogerhyam@mac.com>:

Some authoritative comment on NeXML and CDAO re SDD and TDWG ontology anyone?
The main reason I am going is to be able to give some authoritative comment on the relationships of all these things so maybe ask me again a the end of March!
All the best,
Roger
