Difference between version 20 and version 19:

Lines 17-18 were replaced by lines 17-18
- ;GUID meeting: Report - LSID, RDF agreed upon. Concerns about scalability of RDF. Use cases on GBIF website for GUIDs and Specimens. Sally sent email about GUIDs and Concepts. Jessie offered SEEK Taxon to be an LSID authority. GBIF now has 6 Java programmers building a Taxon db. They have LSID server, ITIS data -> concepts and some Taxon APIs returning TCS docs.
- ;: Who will define what gets a GUID? Community rules for assigning GUIDs? Can issue for your own concepts with no questions. Historical concepts more problematic - who gets to define these - don't want multiple definitions of the same legacy data.
