---++ TDWG Standards LSID Resolver

*Coordinator(s):* Ricardo Pereira 

*Participants:* Roger Hyam

----
---+++ Description
We have set up an LSID authority to resolve LSIDs for TDWG standards cover pages. We are still twicking it...

Why did we come up with such a strange resolver?
   * We wanted TDWG to set the example, i.e., use LSIDs for EVERYTHING ;)
   * The hard bit of coming up with an RDF profile for TDWG standard cover pages had already been done by Roger (for other purposes)
   * We wanted to play with LSID server stack
   * Why not?
