One thing that I think would be very useful, though it poses some
semantic problem... is the possibility to assert equivalence in rdf.
At the moment equivalence can be asserted only in owl (and this
implies a distinction between individuals, properties, classes...).
But that is a lower level statement we can make about URI.
For instance, I can say that:
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Dopamine_receptor
is the same uri as:
http://dbpedia.org/resource/DopamineReceptor
And I want to say this independently from the interpretation
associated to this URI, as my knowledge about the identity is a-priori:
if this leads to inconsistency, then this is because what is expressed
is inconsistent, not because of this equivalence.
Is there a way to express this in RDF ? Don't think so...
ciao,
Andrea

I gave the following neuroscience URI examples in my biordf talk at

I pointed out that the last one might be a possible solution. There
might be hope. :-)

So I count three different sets of URIs for NCBI taxonomy so far. :(

part of the NCBI taxonomy is in NIF Organism:

Thanks!
It'2 240M, but compressed is only 9.
I wonder whether there is some architecture to transparently
transfer
compressed ontologies...

Hi,
I was looking for an NCBI Taxnomoy in OWL, but I didn't find it
(or
better, could find fragment from other projects...)
What is strange though, is that on the obo foundry website
(berkeleybop.org/ontologies) there are notes on the ncbi taxonomy
representation in owl... but not the representation itself.
Temporarily dropped from the summary page but still available at
the
usual URL
http://purl.org/obo/owl/NCBITaxon
(warning: large..)
Does anybody have some hint about where I can fin an OWL version ?
Or even an RDF version ? Even better would a sparql endpoint
containing it...
best,
Andrea Splendiani
