Hi Dom We have had a ticket since forever in MOLES (http://proj.badc.rl.ac.uk/moles/ticket/15)
Simon argued in V3.2 that we should handle this with xlink etc ... but I now think this is essentially exactly the same issue we have with phenomenon. Maybe it's not. So I've reopened the ticket since I still don't understand how we should handle this in UML. We have outbound links which in metafor we are handling with CI_OnlineResource. Recall that CI_OnlineResource has the applicationprofile attribute available, with a rather poor definition of what it's for. "name of an application profile that can be used with the online resource". I think we could for example have a codelist here that included: geosciml csml vivo cerif etc ... Or URIs to descriptions of those things or ,,, Then, where a moles class wants to point out to a better more complete discussion of something, then the appropriate attribute would have a ci_onlineresource and the instances would say what sort of resource it was via the applicationProfile. So, 1) did you get a copy of the ticket reopening, and 2) what do you think about using ci_onlineresource in this way? (Simon: I have a dejavu feeling about this, so if I'm rehashing old ground, remind me).
