* SPM
* RDF/OWL reasoning group: Greg, Bob, Stinger, Martin Pullan likes to review, Cynthia. Try to involve Dan Miranker, Mark Schildhauer
* Cynthia: Use cases, SPM
* Exporting to RDF:BDI.SDD_, translation
* Concentrate on minimum set of RDF-BDI.SDD_ for species pages as RDF:BDI.SDD_
Australia has an old local version of a SPM-like standard: Flora Australia which has blocks, also has structure for branching keys: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/abrs/online-resources/flora/pubs/fl-australia-schema.html, there is xsd on there.
Task group: expose as many data in BDI.SDD_ as possible
Task group: discuss possible minor alignment in naming between BDI.SDD_ and SPM with regard to how concepts are named.
Side note on omission in BDI.SDD_: The diagnostic context of a diagnostic description can not unambigiously expressed in BDI.SDD_. For example, the set of diagnostic characters differs whether sister species shall be distinguished or whether all species in a family shall be distinguished
