[tdwg-guid] RDF-TCS Location

[peter.hollas at thomson.com]

Markus,

As far as I am aware SP2000 isn't doing anything with LSIDs as yet, seems like a good idea for them to use them with the TDWG vocabs though.

The TDWG vocabs seem to do what we need, although we've yet to find a way of doing vernaculars properly.

Does anyone know of an easy way to disable the caching in the Firefox LSID browser without modifying the .xpi? It's a real pain having to constantly delete the cache when you are developing against it.

Thanks, Peter.

Peter,
as far as I know from Roger the vocabulary for TaxonName and  
TaxonRank is considered stable and is implemented by IPNI and others  
already, while TaxonConcept is a bit more shaky. I am currently  
working on the Collection and Institution vocabulary (NCD based). You  
can find all LSID Voc OWL files here:

   http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/

The LSID vocabularies are also the most likely candidate for the EDIT  
project so far - apart from maybe specimen and reference data.
Do you know if Species2000 is considering to make use of it?

best wishes

Markus
