News

• New TNC task group being set up - TCS Usability. Please see below and get involved if it's relevant to you.

• Development work on the TCS has been temporarily diverted to work on the TDWGOntology where we are using the TCS as a basis for defining a modular ontology for TDWG in collaboration with members of the ABCD, SDD and Darwin Core subgroups of TDWG.

* As a result of the Ontology work TCS will be available in RDF format and OWL format.
