Manuscript 1: "Concept Relationships"

• Current Authors: Franz, Peet
• Additional Authors: possible, though not planned at the moment
• Target Outlet: the journal Taxon
• Current Status: as of September 1 (2004), Franz has completed a first draft which is under revision by Peet; submission planned within September (D. Stone's input still required)
• Inner Circulation: as of September 1 (2004), most members of the inner SEEK Taxon circle have received the draft through e-mail

• Target Audience: 1. taxonomists, concept creators, 2. concept providers such as IPNI or ITIS
• Overview of Topics: analyzes and expands Behrendsohn's (1995) and Koperski et al.'s (2000) views on concepts and their relationships; proposes and exemplifies a more wide-ranging "language" to understand and annotate concept relationships
• Other Issues and Related Projects: manuscript addresses the challenge of managing and reducing concept inflation; it is a precursor to an implementation of unique IDs for taxonomic concepts
• Help Needed: nothing urgent, really
