Yeah, I got that... You could make a list of compatibilities (using sameAs) to most important ontologies to make them even more compatible. I do have some further questions... Plain text for divisions can lead to spell problems (not only caps) and the information won't be wrong, but also putting all species names in a list is not possible. How would you address that? In Authority you state what I got as the citation. Will you link to any journal database or have a local citation list? Just saying "Linnaeus, 1758" is not enough for most cases. cheers, --renato -- Reclaim your digital rights, eliminate DRM, learn more at http://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm
