I Even through SNOMED CT cannot be made available as a, say, RDF endpoint, I think it is still useful to consider (non- dereferenceable) URIs based on SNOMED CT concept identifiers for annotation purposes in Semantic Web applications. And as an IHTSDO rep, I agree with Olivier on the a

As the NLM guy on this forum, I probably need to clarify the intellectual property restriction issues with the UMLS. The Semantic Network is entirely owned by NLM and free of IP restrictions. Conversion to OWL has been studied in the past by... Vipul (yes, "our" Vipul). Representing the UM

Kei, Happy to hear we'll be looking at other potential 'key areas' for accelerating adoption. I would put close to top of the list how we can help establish stable URI for public data with reasonable RDF models behind them (resolvable). Having several versions of NCBI data was OK for phase 1, but

Hi Eric, As listed at http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup, the old BioRDF objectives were: 1. Build a life sciences demo that spans from bench to bedside using RDF and OWL to gain a stronger understanding as to the work required. 2. Explore the effectiveness of current tools fo
