Dear Dan,

In the course of the European Project iMarine and the Greek contribution "LifeWatch Greece" to "LifeWatch" (Europe), we have developed together with taxonomy specialists a complete CRM-compatible solution for the below, which is well received by biologists. Beware: It is actually an exercise in metaclass modelling. Luckily, it can be implemented in RDF. My colleague Chrysoula
can point you to all the publications and material.

Best,

Martin

Today I'm in the taxonomy :-)  Very incompetent :-(

So I ask for advice...

1.      How to name the relationship between the taxonomic ranks ?

<class> <has_superior_rank>  <phylum>  ?

or <has_upper_rank> or <has_immediately_upper_rank> or something without "rank" 
?

2.      How to name the relationship between particular taxons ?

The definition of "phylum" in Wordnet uses the word "contains". 
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=phylum

"S: (n) phylum ((biology) the major taxonomic group of animals and plants; contains 
classes)"

So:

<Mammalia> <is_contained_in> <Chordata>

is acceptable ? There is a practice already ?

Or should I be bold and use crm:P150_defines_typical_parts_of ?

Thanks,

Dan
