I have made the changes they are visible in this RDF.
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp.rdf
<http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp.rdf>I have also updated the
following:
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/sitemap.xml.gz (Removed some problematic Fungi,
now about 66,000 species)
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/taxonconcept_subset.rdf.gz
Ontology: http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/txn.owl
Ontology Doc: http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/doc/index.html
The Biol predicates are set as *equivalentproperty*.
Biol Taxonomies are of type Taxonomy, so I created a new Tag <
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp#Taxonomy
<txn:SpeciesTaxonomyTag rdf:about="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp#Taxonomy">
<skos:prefLabel>A Tag-like resource that is used to label taxonomies of
the species concept Danaus plexippus se:mCcSp</skos:prefLabel>
<txn:speciesTaxonomyTagHasSpeciesConcept rdf:resource="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp#Species"/>
<txn:kingdom>Animalia</txn:kingdom>
<txn:phylum>Arthropoda</txn:phylum>
<txn:class>Insecta</txn:class>
<txn:order>Lepidoptera</txn:order>
<txn:family>Nymphalidae</txn:family>
<txn:genus>Danaus</txn:genus>
<txn:specificEpithet>plexippus</txn:specificEpithet>
<txn:scientificNameAuthorship>(Linnaeus,
1758)</txn:scientificNameAuthorship>
<txn:commonName>Monarch Butterfly</txn:commonName>
</txn:SpeciesTaxonomyTag>
I have also added these links to EUNIS, although they maybe somewhat
problematic since these are the same URI's as the foaf:page.
<eunis:SpeciesSynonym rdf:about="http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/species/90910
">
<skos:closeMatch rdf:resource="
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp#Species"/>
<rdfs:seeAlso rdf:resource="http://eunis.eea.europa.eu/species/90910"/>
</eunis:SpeciesSynonym>
