[tdwg-content] New views and RDF representations of the TDWG BioBlitz data

[Peter DeVries]

Hi TDWG'ers,

I decided that rather than tweak Joel's RDF by hand it might make more sense
to just import the data and express in a different RDF representation.

These examples are not about the web application or relatively small
differences in how to name fields, they are more about how in general to
format occurrence records in a way that maximizes their utility.

I added the identified TDWG records to my small set of occurrence examples
here: http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/index.html

Here is one example
http://ocs.taxonconcept.org/ocs/a5bd890c-c1db-4194-8347-796621105ae6.html

On that page are highlighted links that take you into a view of the entity
in my sparql endpoint knowledgebase.

The data is also on the URIburner endpoint which allows a browsable Pivot
interface.

Here is the short link http://t.co/03WriMA

The actual URI looks like this since it contains a SPARQL query:

<
http://uriburner.com/PivotViewer/?url=http%3A%2F%2Furiburner.com%2Fsparql%2F%3Fquery%3DDEFINE%2520sql%253Adescribe-mode%2520%2522SPO%2522%250Adefine%2520input%253Ainference%2520%2522virtrdf-label%2522%250A%250APREFIX%2520foaf%253A%2520%253Chttp%253A%252F%252Fxmlns.com%252Ffoaf%252F0.1%252F%253E%250APREFIX%2520txn%253A%2520%2520%253Chttp%253A%252F%252Flod.taxonconcept.org%252Fontology%252Ftxn.owl%2523%253E%250APREFIX%2520rdf%253A%2520%2520%253Chttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.w3.org%252F1999%252F02%252F22-rdf-syntax-ns%2523%253E%250A%250Adescribe%2520%253Fs%2520where%2520%257B%250A%2520%253Fs%2520rdf%253Atype%2520txn%253AOccurrence.%250A%2520%253Fs%2520foaf%253Adepiction%2520%2520%253Fo.%2520%250A%2520%253Fs%2520virtrdf%253Alabel%2520%253Fname%2520.%250A%2520%257D%26endpoint%3D%2Fsparql%26maxrows%3D50%26default-graph-uri%3D%26format%3Dtext%2Fcxml

There are still things that are not ideal in these examples, or instance I
was not able to add the occurrenceRemarks simply but I hope to do so in the
future.

This also allows me to host the original DarwinCore RDF for comparison.

Here is the url to the endpoint view of one of those records.
