Last week, Michel Dumontier, Matthias Samwald and I were invited to speak at the EBI Semantic Web Industry Workshop. We each gave some HCLS perspectives and heard many other very interesting talks from industry representatives. Phil Brooks (Johnson & Johnson) gave an excellent tutorial. TopBraid Composer was widely touted. A few encouraging news items: Nicolas Le Novere told us that MIRIAM identifiers will go to URIs (from URNs) and Jerven Bolleman told us that Uniprot is getting a SPARQL endpoint for their RDF. There was a strong pharma presence at the workshop. Also, on the LODD front: * Oktie Hassanzadeh has created a linkedct (linked version of clinicaltrials.gov) that is updated nightly * Anja Jentzsch is working on an update of several Berlin-hosted LODD data sets * Egon Willighagen is updating the downloadable RDF version of ChEMBL to version 9 Cheers, Scott -- M.
