Re: Lightweight RDF to Map Various Semantic Representations of Species

Hi Pete, One can indeed understand that you prefer to have closeMatch between things that are indeed much more similar. I guess that in the first Linnaeus classification, pumas were considered to be some form of cats, and then the name of the class was changed. Even if the beast itself remains

Re: Species Concept Mapping RDF fixes and question, should the species be represented as a class? Class SpeciesConcept => Class Species Cougar

Hi Bob, I came about this after it was suggested to me that a species might be best represented as a class. It also occurred to me that an ontology that works to describe mosquito species would probably be very different than an ontology used to describe members of the cat family. What I thought

Hi Antoine, The ubio LSID's are more of a "name-like" thing, there are different LSID's for the entities: Puma concolor (Linnaeus, 1771) urn:lsid:ubio.org:namebank:2478181 Felis concolor Linnaeus, 1771 urn:lsid:ubio.org:namebank:110521 The Catalog of Life LSID seems to be an identifier for the s

Hi Nathan, q: how to deal with these images in rdf terms..? Your problem is that there are actually many vocabularies that can be used to describe the properties of an image or a video. I suggest you have a look at the W3C Media Annotations WG [1] which has released already a Media Ontology

Introducing BOLD (Business Of Linked Data) Discussion Space

All, A while back there was a request (by Aldo Bucchi, I believe) for a more business and marketing oriented discussion space re. Linked Data. The need for what Aldo requested has remained, but nothing every came of his request. Thus, I've opened up a Google discussion space for this very pur
