Hi Matthias, Sorry for being slow to respond.
LSG is the framework that was used for the work that Greg Tucker-Kellogg presented on at WWW2008. Currently the open source version of LSG include 3 plugins to build an example "Gene Explorer" application. The plugins are "Gene Browser", "NCBI Entrez", and "Gene Ontology". We are currently in the process of setting up a collaboration with a couple of universitites to include Semantic Web based provenance tracking capabilities.
