Rod,
Thanks for this. It's a really helpful overview of the integration of LSIDs and RDF (and indeed of GUIDs and metadata in general).

I've finally managed to put down some ideas on LSIDs, metadata, and taxonomic names in the form of a manuscript. It's a bit rough, but I thought members of this list might find it of interest. You can grab a PDF here: http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/examples/lsid.pdf
The web site http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/examples has links to some example RDF files that are mentioned in the manuscript (where they are trimmed to save space).
I'd welcome any comments.
Regards
Rod
