Hi Peter,

i have seen these lists and some interlinking, very good pioneer work!

Søren has invented a "sameSpecies" property for such links.
It is a very good idea not to use owl:sameAs, as this would really merge
the two records.

But maybe "sameSpecies" is not the best solution.
At first, it should be "sameTaxon", so it can be used on any taxon rank
level.

Secondly, I wonder whether the two linked taxa would allways be the same.
There is a good solution for such issues in the skos mapping properties:
http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/#mapping
There are predefined skos:closeMatch, skos:exactMatch, skos:broadMatch,
skos:narrowMatch and skos:relatedMatch sub-properties, and you may add
more specific flavors of mapping.

Best regards,
Thomas
