The URL included in the repository description is:

That is indeed the official URL for the standard, but it points to itself (the repo): http://www.tdwg.org/standards/638

I would suggest to make a bit more user friendly and point to https://ac.tdwg.org/

This issue is related to tdwg/infrastructure#93, which no longer has anything blocking it other than just doing it. At the time this redirect was set up, it wasn't clear where the standards "permanent URLs" should redirect to. That has been settled now, and there are now pages linked from https://www.tdwg.org/standards/ for every TDWG standard in history. Somebody just needs to go through the redirects and make sure they all point to the right page.

I would consider the authoritative mapping of ratified standards to URLs to be here. The data that were used to run the script that built all of the landing pages are here, with the standard column containing the standard's permanent URL and the directoryName column containing the string that forms the last subpath of the landing page's URL, e.g. delta for https://www.tdwg.org/standards/delta/.

At one point I knew where the redirect file that controlled this was located, but I no longer remember and would have to search through emails to find it. However, @timrobertson100 or @MattBlissett would probably know or maybe you do, @peterdesmet .

The redirects are defined in Apache HTTPD configuration here: https://github.com/tdwg/infrastructure/blob/master/httpd/www.tdwg.org.conf#L54-L79

Cool. When I get some time, I can try to update and make a pull request.

I've deployed the redirect configuration, thanks Steve.
