[Tdwg-guid] Simple LSID resolver

[Roderic Page]

It was good to see everybody who made it to sunny Edinburgh over the  
weekend.

I've put together a very simple LSID resolver that returns RDF metadata  
for a LSID. I wanted something very simple, so all you do is stick your  
LSID on the end of http://lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk/, e.g.

http://lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk/urn:lsid:ubio.org:namebank:2735664

http://lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk/urn:lsid:lsid.zoology.gla.ac.uk: 
predicate:isBasionymOf

It's far from bullet proof, and not as pretty as other resolvers.  
However, it means you see the RDF straight away, and if you wanted to  
aggregate the RDF for a LSID you could use this to do the resolution  
for you.

Regards

Rod
