Re: Next version of the LOD cloud diagram. Please provide input, so that your dataset is included.

I was able to create a new OpenID and use that to update the documentation
for the following entries:

http://www.ckan.net/package/taxonconcept

http://www.ckan.net/package/geospecies

I have a number of links to GeoNames in GeoSpecies, but have not been able
to get a count yet.

This RDF will give you some idea of the GeoSpecies interlinking.

http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/mCcSp.rdf

There is some overlap between the GeoSpecies and TaxonConcept data sets that
will be cleaned up in the future.

There was a reason for this which will make sense in the future :-)

For now, the GeoSpecies species are a subset of all the species in
TaxonConcept, but with a slightly different conceptualization.

Both are available at the sparql end point
http://lsd.taxonconcept.org/sparql

along with the EUNIS and other related data sets. (I am currently updating
the endpoint's data from in Bio2RDF and the GNI.)

There is more information available here:
http://www.taxonconcept.org/sparql-endpoint/

Respectfully,

- Pete
