[tdwg-content] RDF list of terms as organized in the dwc-assistant?

[Matthew Blissett]

Hi,

I'm not sure the DWCA assistant is a best practice, but I don't know of 
anything better for the job.  The source code is here: 
https://github.com/gbif/gbif-meta-maker

When it loads, it retrieves the list of extensions from here: 
http://gbrds.gbif.org/registry/extensions.json . This is also used by 
the GBIF IPT.  We have a regular cron job keeping it up to date.

Hope that helps,

Matt
