RDF and OWL are official recommendations

It's Official!

I wish to inform life science participants that RDF and OWL are now official
language recommendations for the W3C:

This means they are no longer experimental systems, but mature enough for
vendors to begin developing on. This will soon translate into the increased
availablity of Semantic Web technolgies for communities, such as life
sciences, for use on projects.  

Note that BioPAX is mentioned on the OWL implementation page:
