Thanks for the information. I'll try to get in touch with them soon.  
As it happens, today I've pushed a few changes across from my working  
copy to the live vocab:

	http://purl.org/NET/biol/ns#

These changes make biol:hasTaxonomy into a sub-property of rdf:type  
and biol:Taxonomy a sub-class of rdfs:Class. It also adds a new term  
biol:morePrecise for linking from a Taxonomy to a more precise  
Taxonomy. Examples 3.7 and 3.8 are new, and demonstrate these new  
features.

Lastly, having looked at ubio.org as you suggested, I've made  
biol:rank into a sub-property of ubio:taxonomicGroup, but having not  
been able to find an RDFS file for ubio, I'm not 100% sure this is  
correct, so it is at risk of reversal.
