[tdwg-content] Use case for individuals

[Steve Baskauf]

I received this information (unsolicited) from Bruce Kirchoff (with whom 
I have been collaborating for a number of years) regarding his 
collection of images from trees in the UNC Greensboro arboretum for use 
in visual keys:

We have got 26 trees
recorded with complete sets of images, and herbarium specimens
collected in duplicate. One set of specimens will go to Chapel Hill,
the other will stay here for teaching purposes. 

In this case, we have images, herbarium specimens duplicates in two 
institutions, and the living specimens in the arboretum (the foo that 
defines itself) that we want to organize under the banner of 
Individual.  I will be archiving Bruce's images at Bioimages and 
elsewhere using HTTP URI guids.  I will be representing the relationship 
among these resources in RDF.  So expect to see functional examples 
using real resources in the near future.

Steve
