I see OMIM was proposed as a test case. I'm interested in this. I'm not entirely sure what it means to put OMIM disease descriptions into RDF though. One approach that springs to mind is simple binary mapping between OMIM IDs and, say, UMLS IDs. The question of whether RDF is used here seems moot. An approach we're pursuing is decomposed descriptions of OMIM phenotypes, in terms of biological entities (continuants and occurrents) and the qualities which inhere in them; this could be done using ontologies such as the FMA and PATO (for qualities). We're also interested in how these phenotypes relate to the disease, and the nature of the gene to phenotype relationship. We'll be trying out various RDF storage solutions for this. We should have a demo running soon...
