[tdwg-tag] LSID Sourceforge URL & LSID Best Practices

[Kevin Richards]

This is the same problem that has been there since Source Forge updated their site to a new version, probably nearly a year ago now.  Ricardo was hoping to fix this by moving the lsids.sourceforge.net location to a tdwg server, but I never heard back how far he had got - he is distracted by his new job.

Not sure if we have anyone working no this, but it needs fixing.

Hi All,

Gail Kampmeier just called my attention to the fact that
http://lsids.sourceforge.net/ is not resolving properly (results in an
error: "Cannot find configuration. This file is probably executed from the
wrong location." -- whatever the hell that means).  Is it now necessary to
link to http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsid/ instead?

The reason this came up is that, following an earlier (and still extant?)
TDWG recommendation/best practices, I include the orange "LSID" icon next to
the LSIDs as displaye don the human-readible ZooBank pages.  For example:

http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:1C82C4FB-C439-4423-BBB0-75FAEA15
7AC2

Immediately to the right of the LSID you'll see the icon.  I made this icon
a link to the sourceforge site (which I guess I should now change to
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lsid/).  Is this still an appropriate use
of, and link for, the icon?  Should the link do something else (like return
RDF)?

Thoughts, insights welcome!

Aloha,
Rich
