BioRDF Announcement

We're very pleased to announce that Kei Cheung is going to be coordinating
the BioRDF task going forwards. Kei has been a very active participant in
BioRDF to date, and most notably led work on the conversion of SenseLab to
RDF/OWL.

The BioRDF group will be taking the lead on extending the HCLS KB. Thoughts
for the extensions include creating a visual interface, providing
mechanisms to more easily update the data, and the incorporation of new
types of data including chemical and drug data. In addition, the group will
identify scientific use cases to prioritize some of the extensions.

Kei would like to give the group a break over July and August, so the first
call will be on September 8 2008.

Cheers,
