Hi Jonathan,

Alan had mentioned at today's W3C HCLS IG call that you are looking to expand the resources you track in the NeuroCommons RDF repository. He mentioned work to add resources such as the ATCC.

I mentioned there were a collection of resources being funded by the NIH Blueprint funding initiative that I would also suggest should be on the list for inclusion. Alan suggested I pass these on to you.

You can find these described at:
        http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/

There are a few that Alan has already begun to work on (or examine for inclusion) - e.g., CCDB, GENSAT, etc.. This page lists several more such resources that provide broad-scoped value in the realm of neuroinformatics. I'd particularly point to those resources listed under: Proteins & Genes (includes the burgeoning NIH Neuroscience Microarray Consortium that Kei is a part of): http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ gene_protein.htm
        Cells, Tissues, and DNA
http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ cell_tissue.htm
        Imaging Tools:
http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ imaging_tools.htm
        Neuroinformatics:
http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ neuroinformatics.htm
        
If you need any assistance in sorting through these resources, don't hesitate to ask. It might also be worthwhile having a brief NeuroCommons Working Group Teleconference with folks such as Rob WIlliams, Maryann Martone, Gully Burns, etc. to review these resources and help you put a list of priorities in place.

Cheers,
Bill
