Dear Julian,

I've put some quick notes up here:
http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/ispecies/how.html.

Ideally, if a source provides XML (or something similarly easy to
handle, it can be added). As part of other projects I've been playing
with getting specimen data from DiGIR providers, for example.

Regards

Rod
