Folks,
	I've been looking around for DTD and other info about structuring 
information about plants.

The ITIS seems to have a good spec for Scientific names, Author
info and even has a stab at Common names and distribution info.
        http://www.itis.usda.gov/submit_guidlines.html

The Dublin Core
        http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/
has good data for describing publications.

Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names Online
http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/vocabularies/tgn/index.html
has all the names of places you could ever need.
