GBIF questions - LSIDs #98

Open mobb opened 3 years ago

mobb commented 3 years ago

OBIS wants LSIDs in the scientificNameID field. general pattern: urn:lsid:::[:] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LSID) LSID controversies aside, they are ostensibly dereferencable, so we may need to create them.

We can probably figure out auth and objectID easily for taxa. Namespace seems trickier, since it's dependent on the authority (and might have sub-namespaces). And I have not found enough working examples to figure it out based on that (e.g., this one, in the gbif task group docs from 2017: http://bioguid.info/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:20012728-1:1.1). or some from the OBIS docs (to be relocated)

Does GBIF have documentation on constructing LSIDS for the most common ID authorities?
