Adding addition resources to the accruing in the NeuroCommons

Hi Jonathan,

Alan had mentioned at today's W3C HCLS IG call that you are looking  
to expand the resources you track in the NeuroCommons RDF  
repository.  He mentioned work to add resources such as the ATCC.

I mentioned there were a collection of resources being funded by the  
NIH Blueprint funding initiative that I would also suggest should be  
on the list for inclusion.  Alan suggested I pass these on to you.

You can find these described at:
	http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/

There are a few that Alan has already begun to work on (or examine  
for inclusion) - e.g., CCDB, GENSAT, etc..  This page lists several  
more such resources that provide broad-scoped value in the realm of  
neuroinformatics.  I'd particularly point to those resources listed  
under:
	Proteins & Genes (includes the burgeoning NIH Neuroscience  
Microarray Consortium that Kei is a part of):
		http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ 
gene_protein.htm
	Cells, Tissues, and DNA
		http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ 
cell_tissue.htm
	Imaging Tools:
		http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ 
imaging_tools.htm
	Neuroinformatics:
		http://neuroscienceblueprint.nih.gov/neuroscience_resources/ 
neuroinformatics.htm
	
If you need any assistance in sorting through these resources, don't  
hesitate to ask.  It might also be worthwhile having a brief  
NeuroCommons Working Group Teleconference with folks such as Rob  
WIlliams, Maryann Martone, Gully Burns, etc. to review these  
resources and help you put a list of priorities in place.

Cheers,
Bill
