[tdwg-tag] GUID Persistence as Zen kōan

[Robert Huber]

Roger,

I think we should start think how to improve the situation. In my
opinion the situation could significantly improved if there would be
some audit method, thus certificate for trustworthy GUIDs. There are
several initiatives working on audit methods for long term archives
why not adopting such a procedure for LSID authorities?
I have posted some ideas in my blog here:

best regards,
Robert
