Thanks Eric. Do you know how this fits into the LSID and semantic web infrastructure? Is there any standard way of resolving LSIDs that are used in this way? It would seem that they can be used as RDF IDs, but that they would not be treated specially compared to any other RDF ID and could be mixed with other RDF IDs, which might have different resolution mechanisms. I guess one major advantage of using them this way is that LSIDs have a naming scheme that conforms with semantic web ideals i.e. remains stable except when data changes. Would it be better to treat LSIDs similarly to other database identifiers, as data in a class property, and build software to use it specifically (e.g. resolve, browse)? Or would it be better to have software that detects if an RDF ID is an LSID and adds appropriate LSID features?
