    Hello Mark, All,

I agree - the issue also came up at the BioHackathon last week... basically,
as Tom Oinn phrased it, "if you're thinking of using owl:sameAs... don't!"

 Is that a suggestion to abolish owl:sameAs?

Another predicate is needed that is less "rigourous" - owl:kindOfLike ?:-)

 What do we gain from non-rigorous statements? I am assuming that
when UniProt says "same as", they really mean "same as".

I wish we would ;-) but sometimes we make mistakes, and I think the case ben described is one of them. we could replace the owl:sameAs in our tissues set by rdfs:seeAlso or skos:related to map to PO and eVOC? opinions anyone?

cheers,
nicole

PS: beware of the isolatedFrom property. it does not give you the tissue specificty of the protein. I intend to remove it, because I think it can be very misleading.
