Dear GUID and TAG members,

As we mentioned in an earlier message last month, the TDWG GUID group has been working on a draft of the TDWG LSID Applicability Statement. This document is planed to serve as guideline for implementation of LSID resolvers in biodiversity information applications. This specification will summarize all agreed decisions by the GUID group and address the requirements of the TAG group.

We would like to ask you to please review the current draft of the document and provide your comments and feedback.

The document under review is available at:

http://www.tdwg.gbif.org/uploads/media/TDWG_LSID_Applicability_Statement_11_...

To make comments and provide feedback, please follow the instructions on the following page on the TDWG GUID wiki:

http://wiki.gbif.org/guidwiki/wikka.php?wakka=TdwgLsidApplicabilityStatement

When we are all satisfied with the contents of this applicability statement, we intend to ratify it as a TDWG standard.

Again, we would really appreciate your comments and feedback.

Best regards,

The TDWG Infrastructure Team (TIP)
