I also thought I would also address this statement about the LSID-GUID meeting
The invitation to the LGTG workshop was open to everyone.
"Thank you for your expression of interest in participating in the GBIF LSID-GUID Task Group. Due to the need to have a mix of skills/experience and to try to maintain a geographical spread (difficult), it did not prove possible to include you in the core group (North America was over-represented in the nominations)"
I have no animosity toward GBIF for this, I have just become increasingly concerned about a growing paper trail that is amazingly similar to my own proposals but fails to mention my work.
It seems strange to me that of all the people involved in TDWG and Linked Data discussions over the last year my efforts seem to be being positioned as "invisible".
