As is, no. but the original idea was to extract subject, gene, and  
protien information associated with each article. the scraper is set  
up to do this (in the sense of spidering off the document page and  
calling off to other constructed URIs), but I haven't filled in the  
blanks yet.

Go for it! :) I can then update the scraper then to reflect your  
results, use your namespaces, etc. so we can have at least 2  
independent implementations of this.

pls use the wiki to keep track of this work so others can follow along.
