Re: Is it best practices to use a rdfs:seeAlso link to a potentially multimegabyte PDF?, existing predicate for linking to PDF?

Thanks to everyone.

I fixed the issues with wdrs:describedby, used dcterms:hasFormat to link to
the PDF the #OriginalDescription section now shows.

<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

Here is the link to the entire RDF for this species
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ses/v6n7p.rdf

I have updated the CKAN information http://ckan.net/package/taxonconcept

<http://ckan.net/package/taxonconcept>and the void
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/void.rdf

The RDF dump files have been updated.

<http://lod.taxonconcept.org/ontology/void.rdf>The semantic sitemap is here
http://lod.taxonconcept.org/sitemap.xml.gz

<http://lod.taxonconcept.org/sitemap.xml.gz>I still have not figured out the
best way to generate the interlink counts but the CKAN numbers are close.

There are probably still errors or suboptimal semantic markup in these or
their related ontology.

I would welcome any suggestions or comments on ways to make these better.

With each iteration I have been trying to add additional information that
makes it easier to determine what is a and what is not an instance of one of
the species concepts.

It will take a while for these to get to what they should be.

Thanks Again,

Respectfully,

- Pete
