RE: Biological Taxonomy Vocabulary 0.1

Toby,

IMHO this is a great way of doing it. Other examples basically using the
same approach (vocabulary spec in RDFa) are:

http://creativecommons.org/ns  - Describing Copyright in RDF

http://purl.org/NET/scovo  - The Statistical Core Vocabulary (scovo)

Cheers,
	Michael
