Permalinks for terms about ac HOT 6 CLOSED

It should be a location standardized for tdwg (what is the species id page, who 
is it run by?), easily accessible by tdwg members, and preferable the same 
location as our overarching normative information (i.e., the ac wiki).  One 
should be shifted to the other location.  And someone needs to keep up-to-date 
on the species id page.  Making changes in two different locations is bad.

The current DwC, and fairly common modern practice, separates the link 
value---or more properly, the URI for the term, from the URI resolution and 
dereference, which contains the actual information defining the term.  For 
example, http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/terms/catalogNumber is the URI for the DwC 
catalogNumber term, but if you put that URL into a browser, you will find that 
it takes you to 
http://darwincore.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/terms/index.htm#catalogNumber which 
is where the DwC group maintains the authoritative version. This is NOT what 
happens for DwC terms borrowed from other vocabularies, which appropriately are 
resolved and dereferenced in whatever way the original vocabulary provides. For 
example , dc:type resolves to http://purl.org/dc/terms/type, which happens to 
provide an entire RDF document, giving all the dc terms (though that's an 
artifact of a poor choice on dc's part).

The corresponding thing for AC would be to assign URI's in rs.tdwg.org for 
those terms in the ac  namespace but resolve them to the species-id wiki at the 
appropriate place. That is indeed what my present arrangement is with the 
rs.tdwg.org maintainers. Borrowed vocabulary is resolved, as for DwC, by the 
originating mechanism, however inconvenient it may be. 

There is no downside to this. Maintenance of the AC vocabulary remains entirely 
on species-id. The version on code.google.com is for no purpose other than 
public commenting, especially with the issue manager, which is way better than 
giving all of TDWG edit permission on species-id.

With about a few days work between Gregor and me, it is probably feasible to 
provide a media-wiki robot that would automatically update the "informative" 
version on google code whenever the authoritative species-id is updated.

This is done in the proposed AC at http://terms.gbif.org/w/index.php?oldid=8875
