Index Fungorum LSID Authority Setup
Kevin Richards June 2006

• Standard Java LSID framework with Tomcat
• Really easy to set up (most time spent on
  learning Java/Tomcat ins and outs)
• Used SimpleResolutionService
• No assigning service
• Still produces errors in Rods tester (probably
  validate method?)
• Names only, no literature, images etc

• protected boolean hasData(LSIDRequestContext
  arg0)
• if (arg0.getLsid().getAuthority().getAuthority(
  ).toLowerCase().equals("indexfungorum.org"))
• return true
• return false
• protected boolean hasMetadata(LSIDRequestContext
  arg0)
• if (arg0.getLsid().getAuthority().getAuthority(
  ).toLowerCase().equals("indexfungorum.org"))
• return true
• return false
• protected void validate(LSIDRequestContext arg0)
  throws LSIDServerException // TODO
  Auto-generated method stub

• TCS-RDF Metadata
• Our interpretation
• Others may have a different interpretation gt
  inconsistent data
• Literature RDF element is unstructured should
  be
• Connected to live IndexFungorum database
• LSID data is just taxon full name?

Summary

• LSID easy enough to set up for computer literate
  / developer
• GUID technology not so critical the metadata,
  and interpretation of that metadata, seems more
  important
• Will often be some steep learning curve RDF in
  my case
• Assign LSIDs and rest will fall into place?
