I also thought I would also address this statement about the LSID-GUID meeting<div><br></div><div><div>&gt; The invitation to the LGTG workshop was open to everyone.</div><div><br></div><div>&quot;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)&quot;</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br>
</div><div>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 &quot;invisible&quot;.</div><div><br></div><div>- Pete</div>
