[hcls] Updated wiki page for HCLS Knowledge Base

Dear all,

Now and then I receive questions about the contents of the HCLS Knowledge Base and how it can be queried. I want to point out that there is a wiki page that describes the content and named graphs within the knowledge base:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/HCLSIG_BioRDF_Subgroup/DERI_HCLS_KB

I just updated the wiki page. If you have some rich RDF/OWL datasets that you would like to see added to the knowledge base, please contact me. 

Since it would not be feasible to maintain a knowledge base that contains all of the life science - related RDF datasets that currently exist, I want to focus the HCLS Knowledge Base on collecting and integrating rich datasets that have been created by participants / associates of the HCLS Interest Group community. I think that this could help us identify connections and potential synergies of our work. Besides, even though linked data URIs and federated queries are nice, it is quite practical to have all relevant datasets accessible through a single SPARQL endpoint.

Cheers,
Matthias Samwald
