Hi all,
NPG was also part of the SESL project. So, they are aware of the needs
of the Semantic Web Community. I guess the sophisticated approach is for
later. :-)

That's the most frustrating thing about many "triplification"
initiatives... the use of (only) literals for identifiers! :-/ It's
like giving the path information for your URL, without giving the
domain-name! I don't understand why the Web is so ~intuitive to
people now, but the Semantic Web is not...?!? Nobody would ever do
that on The Web... but the Semantic Web is the same thing - it's the
same concept! How can you get it wrong?? How can NATURE get it wrong???
Sigh... my head hurts from the brick wall that I'm trying to
break-through with it...
Sorry for venting, but I'm sure that Nature invested a lot of money
into doing this, and... OUCH! Another brick!

In case you haven't seen, Nature PG now has LOD and a SPARQL endpoint :
http://www.nature.com/press_releases/linkeddata.html
unfortunately, after a cursory look ( hope i'm wrong) - i don't
think the
data links into anything on the semantic web... (mesh terms are
literals,
pmids are in NPG's namespace with no links to identifiers.org, etc)

"Nature Publishing Group (NPG) today is pleased to join the
linked data
community by opening up access to its publication data via a linked
data
platform. NPG's Linked Data Platform is available at
http://data.nature.com.
The platform includes more than 20 million Resource Description
Framework (RDF) statements, including primary metadata for more than
450,000
articles published by NPG since 1869. In this first release, the
datasets
include basic citation information (title, author, publication date,
etc)
as
well as NPG specific ontologies. These datasets are being released
under an
open metadata license, Creative Commons Zero (CC0), which permits
maximal
use/re-use of this data.
NPG's platform allows for easy querying, exploration and
extraction of
data and relationships about articles, contributors, publications, and
subjects. Users can run web-standard SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query
Language
(SPARQL) queries to obtain and manipulate data stored as RDF. The
platform
uses standard vocabularies such as Dublin Core, FOAF, PRISM, BIBO
and OWL,
and the data is integrated with existing public datasets including
CrossRef
and PubMed.
More information about NPG's Linked Data Platform is available at
http://developers.nature.com/docs. Sample queries can be found at
http://data.nature.com/query. "
