[seek-taxon] [Fwd: Test LSID resolver for TaxonConcepts]

[Robert Gales]

Matt,

I looked at this a couple of nights ago and from what I understand has 
improved on the data available now.  When I looked at it, the data was 
just name + relationships.  I'm planning on taking another look this 
weekend, and harvesting at least the bats data from GBIF's LSID service. 
  I'll get back to you on what I think about the RDF representation of 
TCS once I get a chance to look at it.  You haven't happened to have any 
luck getting the Firefox LSID Launchpad to work would you?  I haven't 
been successful with Firefox on either OS X or Linux.

Yes, I've been following or at least treading water trying to keep up on 
most of what is going on with the GUID/RDF discussion.
