Thanks Peter,
I haven't seen it. We will process it in the next few days, I'll inform
you if we found some problem.
Best,

Hi Renaud,
Thank you, I have a semantic sitemap at:
http://lod.geospecies.org/sitemap.xml
I am open to additional comments or suggestions. :-)

Hi Peter,
I see that you have already a dataset dump available. Could I
suggest also the use of a semantic sitemap [1], so that search
engines such as Sindice can find, process and index your dump.
Best,

I have updated the GeoSpecies data set.
You can read about it here:
http://about.geospecies.org/
You can browse it here:
http://lod.geospecies.org/
The RDF dump can be obtained here:
Here is the new RDF dump
http://lod.geospecies.org/geospecies.rdf.tar.gz (1,765,790
Triples)
The data set currently contains information and linked data
for: 15,862 Species, 1,291 Familes, 206 Orders. We have
approximately 6,500 species observations, but are awaiting
release on the majority of those. The current data set
includes 12 sample observation records with geo and geonames
links. There is also a growing number of GeoSpecies annotated
articles and presentations in the bibtex and bibio
vocabularies. The knowledge base is currently linked to
DBpedia, Freebase, Bio2RDF, Uniprot, uBio data sources, and
uses some of the umbel subject concepts. See the projects page
information on proper attribution. Until they have been fully
documented, the bulk of the observation records are not
currently available.
I have attempted to link to dbpedia, bio2rdf, uniprot and
freebase when possible using skos:closeMatch. Of the 15,862
species, 5,684 are linked to dbpedia and wikipedia, 8,948 are
linked to bio2rdf and uniprot. There are also
foaf:isPrimaryTopicOf links to 8,910 Wikispecies pages.
Similar linkages are made at the other taxonomic levels of
kingdom, phylum, class, order and family.
Here the the page for the Silver-bordered Fritillary Butterfly
Boloria selene Denis and Schiffermuller 1775
http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/ICmLC.html
The "entity" is
http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/ICmLC
The RDF is
http://lod.geospecies.org/ses/ICmLC.rdf
The levels above species and family are in XHTML with RDFa,
but also have a straight RDF representation.
Order Carnivora
http://lod.geospecies.org/orders/jtSaY.xhtml
RDF version
http://lod.geospecies.org/orders/jtSaY.rdf
This page has some example SPARQL queries.
http://about.geospecies.org/sparql.xhtml
You can find the ontology documentation here:
http://rdf.geospecies.org/gs_ont_doc/index.html
It is mainly a vocabulary, since I have had trouble getting
all the related ontologies to play well together.
The SPARQL query examples will work as described on the RDF
dataset without the ontology.
This is only a fraction of the world's species but it includes
all the world's Mammals, and North American Birds.
I will be working to improve the data set's depth, breadth and
linkages overtime, and would appreciate any comments or
suggestions :-)
My long term plan is to also add biologically relevant
assertions to allow useful semantic queries about species.
I have started to add state and county level records from the
USDA Plants dataset for Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota.
In addition, I have started to make links between habitats and
species.
