In think in the short term, in context of the HCLS demo, we can use
SPARUL rules to convert various forms of definitions and labels to
the usual rdfs:comment and rdfs:label. The only issue I see is that
there is a need for secondary labels (or conversely primary labels),
so we might want to borrow skos:prefLabel for cases where we need
this. Still, I would have that be redundant with rdfs:label.
Course there is a problem with, e.g. multiple synonyms - how does one
choose the rdfs:label to use in display if there are so many that are
not distinguished?

I and some other people have already nagged Chris about the

This is partly related to a larger problem, namely the
inhomogeneous representation of labels, descriptions and
definitions among biomedical Semantic Web ontologies. I have
started a Wiki page on this topic:
