[Fwd: New Web tool may speed drug discovery]

Anybody has more information on this, and whether it
can/could/should/may/might connect to Semantic Web tools?

An analogy I have for something in the same direction is the GoPubMed
project from the University of Dresden[1] which relies on ontologies to
improve the results produced by PubMed...

Hi Ivan,

The linked (I hope) article was on the front page of today's Boston
Globe.  I was hoping it might be about HCLS IG work.  I don't think so.
 Could you find out more about the underlying technologies?

It would be cool if the IG could have some at least preliminary results
that would garner such nice publicty...

Steve

potential new compounds to treat particular diseases."
