Re: [BiONT][BioRDF] Mussels

2006-05-04 Thread Steve Chervitz
Hi Chris, I thought the wikispecies URL would be an improvement over a wikipedia URL since it gives you a way to define a resolvable ID using the taxonomic term itself ('Bivalvia'). Also the content resolved by that URL describes superclass relations that could be automatically extracted. But to

How about using a wikispecies URL, where the taxonomic term appears in the URL: http://species.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivalvia For mussels you can't currently get much below the Order level, but this is just a matter of fleshing out the wikispecies database. Steve > From: Alan Ruttenberg <[EMAIL
