Dear All,
Could someone please enlighten me as to where the current TCS-RDF ontology is hosted? I've looked through the TDWG wiki, but only found it referenced from hyam.net, which is offline.
I am looking at using it as a vocab for LSID metadata responses from organismnames.com.
Many thanks, Peter.

can I suggest that the hierarchy you are using is dragged out of the 19th century ...
Piptocephalis Phycomycetes Plantae (Fungi)
otherwise looks a nice celan interface ... ;-)
Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul, I'll pass on your reservations about the hierarchy!
As far as LSID ontologies go, I'm going to see what we can do with the standard TDWG ontology.
Cheers, Peter.

Dear Peter,
Still under development, I believe, but the working draft can be found from:
http://wiki.tdwg.org/twiki/bin/view/TAG/LsidVocs
Follow the links for TaxonConceptLsidVoc.
Best wishes,
Donald

Peter, as far as I know from Roger the vocabulary for TaxonName and TaxonRank is considered stable and is implemented by IPNI and others already, while TaxonConcept is a bit more shaky. I am currently working on the Collection and Institution vocabulary (NCD based). You can find all LSID Voc OWL files here:
http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/
The LSID vocabularies are also the most likely candidate for the EDIT project so far - apart from maybe specimen and reference data. Do you know if Species2000 is considering to make use of it?
best wishes -- Markus

Markus,
As far as I am aware SP2000 isn't doing anything with LSIDs as yet, seems like a good idea for them to use them with the TDWG vocabs though.
The TDWG vocabs seem to do what we need, although we've yet to find a way of doing vernaculars properly.
Does anyone know of an easy way to disable the caching in the Firefox LSID browser without modifying the .xpi? It's a real pain having to constantly delete the cache when you are developing against it.
Thanks, Peter.

Hi Peter
The TDWG Infrastructure Project is currently negotiating some support for Species 2000 to deploy LSIDs. If things work out as hoped, we should see some significant outcomes before TDWG 2007.
Cheers
Lee
