Preliminary description/outline of proposed exchange protocols

This preliminary outline proposes exchange protocols for the Taxonomic Concept Markup Language (TCML), a file format that describes concepts of varying origin and quality. The protocols cover creating, transporting, manipulating, merging, comparing, querying, transforming, and storing TCML files, as well as creating new revisions, transferring checklists, and accessing data via online interfaces.

  1. Preliminary description/outline of proposed exchange protocols Robert Kukla

  2. Taxonomic Concept Mark-up Language • Transfer Schema describes a file format: TCML • Concepts of varying origin and quality • Different usages • have different requirements • utilise different aspects of the schema definition

  3. Systematic Approach • Creating TCML files • manually (transcribing paper records) • batch extraction (legacy data) • Dynamically (wrapper) • Transporting TCML files • Manipulating TCML files • Merging • Comparing of sets • Querying • Transforming TCML files • for storage • for presentation

  4. Creating new revisions • Research and record concepts • Intuitive Editor • Look up and link existing concepts, publications and Voucher references (GUID) • Input concept data • Visualise hierarchy and relationships • Check consistency • Submit revision

  5. Transferring Checklists • Supply authorities/organisations with an unambiguous list of species for a specific • Identify concepts in source context • Identify

  6. On-line interface to existing DBs • Data provider maintain their own data base with their own (relational) structure • Online interface gives access to data in well defined format via wrapper • Queries are formulated and executed in legacy form • Results are delivered in TCML • Optionally transformed by XSL style sheet for optimal presentation
