Interesting question and one we've been discussing in other contexts. HGNC is only valid for human genes of course, and not all species have this type of sign off on ids. I would use an Ensembl id, from there you can get other id cross references best Helen On 10/11/2010 10:24, Christoph Gra

Hi a few comments on the EFO parts of this. best Helen Generally I like the data model, seems intuitive to me. Btw in the graph at http://biordfmicroarray.googlecode.com/hg/sparql_endpoint.html the edge 'experimentSet dct:isPartOfmicroarray_experiment' is missing. What I have so far is a si
