[tdwg-guid] TDWG LSID Resolver broken?

Thu Nov 29 19:04:19 CET 2007

Thanks Rod,

The two LSIDs in your links are truncated due to line wrap in my original
message.  They should be:

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:20889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D97704A609

urn:lsid:bishopmuseum.org:tnu:20889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D97704A609

Both have essentially identical WSDL data -- though it might be cached still
from yesterday.

WSDL looks mostly the same as IPNI:

http://zoobank.bishopmuseum.org/authority/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:208
89795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D97704A609

http://nsdb.bishopmuseum.org/authority/?lsid=urn:lsid:bishopmuseum.org:tnu:2
0889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D97704A609

No doubt both of these will be truncated/line-wrapped as well....

Sally:  might be DNS, but the DNS record hasn't changed for the ZooBank
service since it was originally created, and I know it was working through
the TDWG resolver back before/during Bratislava.

Lee:  I've been pestering Kevin about other issues I ran into setting up the
new nsdb LSID resolver, but I figured that the problem was with the TDWG
resolver service, since Rod's tester seems to work fine on both (or am I
missing something about your tester, Rod?)  But now that I see that the nsdb
LSIDs resolve through the TDWG site fine, I'm beginning to suspect the
problem is with IIS on the ZooBank server.  The Code really is identical (if
anything, it should be broken on the nsdb version, not the zoobank version).

Hmmm....

Many thanks for all the feedback so far!

Aloha,
Rich

	Rich, 

	The authority WSDL looks to be empty. I can't get either LSIDs to
work now with my tester. If you look at

http://nsdb.bishopmuseum.org/authority/?lsid=urn:lsid:bishopmuseum.org:tnu:2
0889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D

	or

http://zoobank.bishopmuseum.org/authority/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:208
89795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D977

	you'll see a pretty empty WSDL file. Compare this to, say, IPNI's:

http://www.ipni.org/authority/authority?lsid=urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:2001272
8-1:1.1

	I suspect there's a problem with Zoobank's code, and it might have
taken a while to appear as my tester caches the WSDLs for 24 hours.

	Regards

	Rod

		VERY strange! 

		This LSID does not work:

http://lsid.tdwg.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:20889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D977
		04A609

		But this one does:

http://lsid.tdwg.org/urn:lsid:bishopmuseum.org:tnu:20889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D
		1D97704A609

		Even though these are the exact same record from the exact
same database,
		and the latter resolver was created from the exact same
source code as the
		former.

		Both seem to work fine on Rod's tester page, except the
latter has one
		failure (5a), while in the former it is just a warning.

		Go figure....

		Hi All,

		I'm testing the ZooBank LSID resolver, and I can't seem to
get any
		of my
		LSIDs to work with the TDWG LSID resolver
(http://lsid.tdwg.org/)
		They used
		to work a couple months ago, but now they don't.

		For example:

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:20889795-7EC7-42F3-A4C3-D1D97704A609

		This works fine on Rod's Tester site:

		http://linnaeus.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/lsid/tester/

		Any ideas???

		Thanks,
		Rich
