This is probably technically possible - but you'd need to process a lot of complex mage-ml to get out some quite simple information - there's a node-edge sample processing graph, plus all the external data files in there - mage-ml is mostly tags and the files are large. We've moved internally to MAGE-TAB format, we have a MAGE-TAB parser that's being used by a couple of groups. We will be developing a standalone parser/backend database which will allow users to build a standalone atlas. There may be more mileage in developing that parser further to support RDF than to persue MAGE-ML. thanks Helen Kei Cheung wrote: > This may also be an interesting way of intersecting microarray > (mageml) and semantic web (rdfa) ... > > -Kei > > Ivan Herman wrote: > >> I am sorry if I come into this thread very late.
