Project requiring reference management, federation of resources and conversion to RDF for health care

I am currently in advanced stages of project definition to create a universal global digital dashboard for tracking, monitoring and rapid response of outbreaks of known and unknown diseases.

This is in part inspired by the current Ebola outbreaks and apparent failure to adequate address this on a global real;-time basis.

The exciting news is that all technologies are actually out there.

A blue print for  a dashboard tracking one specific disease can be found at:

Digital Dashboard Design Using Multiple Data Streams for Disease Surveillance With Influenza Surveillance as an Example

But in order to generalize this we must use network theory:
Using network theory to identify the causes of disease outbreaks of unknown origin

<http://rsif.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/10/81/20120904.full>

To do this we must collect data from a lot of different sources either from the web or from direct data streams in multiple formats.

So here is where the issues of reference management, federation of resources and final conversion into RDF format for data warehousing come into play.

The Yosemite Project aims at using RDF as a universal standard fro exchange in health care;

Now here is the real problem; health care is marred by a labyrinth of Health IT standards, so how can we find a quick and dirty solution circumventing the standards issue and focus on the reference management, federation of resources and conversion to RDF format first?

Several pieces of the puzzle are being discussed in several discussion in various W3C list right now.

I have funding requests pending for this project and I would appreciate any suggestions and/or partners willing to collaborate.
