I was wondering if there is an existing predicate for linking to a PDF file? I would like to incorporate a link between bibliographic reference description and a URL to the location of a PDF of that document. I had minted a predicate txn:hasPDFVersion, as demonstrated in this RDF snippet. (Part of http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.rdf ) <txn:SpeciesOriginalDescription rdf:about=" http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p#OriginalDescription"> <!-- Ideally, this should link to a resource in the Biodiversity Heritage Library --> <dcterms:title>Original Published Description relating to Species Concept Puma concolor se:v6n7p</dcterms:title> <dcterms:identifier> http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p#OriginalDescription </dcterms:identifier> <dcterms:description>LOD metadata about the original species description relating to Species Concept Puma concolor se:v6n7p</dcterms:description> <dcterms:isPartOf rdf:resource=" http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p#Species"/> <txn:hasAuthorURI rdf:resource=" http://dbpedia.org/resource/Carl_Linnaeus"/> <txn:hasBasionymName>Felis concolor Linnaeus 1771</txn:hasBasionymName> <txn:year>1771</txn:year> <txn:hasPDFVersion rdf:resource=" http://assets.geospecies.org/spec_concept_uuid/603bebac-cc44-4168-bbf7-b11b976f9d79/Felis_concolor_Linnaeus_1771.pdf "/> <txn:speciesOriginalDescriptionHasSpeciesConcept rdf:resource=" http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p#Species"/> <!-- There should be a type specimen. Add link to GBIF via 'txn:sodHasTypeSpecimen' if they know about it. --> <wdrs:describedBy rdf:resource=" http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.rdf"/> </txn:SpeciesOriginalDescription> Some have suggested using rdfs:seeAlso to link to what could be a multimegabyte PDF, but I think this would cause problems for a number of RDF crawlers like Elmo. In summary, I think it would be useful to have a predicate that can be used for linking specifically to a PDF document. Is there an existing predicate for this? What do people think about the suggestion to use rdfs:seeAlso to link to a PDF? I would also like to know of others thoughts or suggestions regarding this issue, Respectfully, - Pete --------------------------------------------------------------- Pete DeVries Department of Entomology University of Wisconsin - Madison 445 Russell Laboratories 1630 Linden Drive Madison, WI 53706 TaxonConcept Knowledge Base <http://www.taxonconcept.org/> / GeoSpecies Knowledge Base <http://lod.geospecies.org/> About the GeoSpecies Knowledge Base <http://about.geospecies.org/> ------------------------------------------------------------
