Hi, I came to think of Richard Boyce's nice presentation recently on Linked SPL 1) when I studying ISO's / HL7's standards for Identification of Medicinal Products (IMPD) 2).
For me the IDMP's data elements and controlled vocabularies looks like a perfect case for semantic web standards and linked data principles. Do anyone know of any work on this?
