Re: Biological Taxonomy Vocabulary 0.1

Hi!

I'm a latecomer to this discussion, and not a biologist, so sorry if this is 
silly, but I thought Uniprot had a pretty uptodate taxonomy of species? 

Anyway, I have a use case: 

I spend quite some time tagging my pictures, and I take pictures of plants and 
animals. Sometimes, I even stumble upon some rarely seen creatures, which are 
duly tagged as such. Now, I do not intend to maintain a biological taxonomy, 
my tags are intended for my consumption, thus has labels that means something 
mostly to me. However, I intend to model them with SKOS at some point, and 
then, to make them useful to others, mapping them to a proper taxonomy would 
be very interesting. I believe MOAT could be used for that.

So, it would be very interesting if your vocabulary could be used for this 
purpose! 

Kind regards
