Re: Bio2RDF vs Linked Life Data

Hi All,

Linked life data is like the LOD cache a sparql endpoint provider supported endpoint as a community service/marketing effort.
You can see when they loaded certain data and when it was last updated here:
http://linkedlifedata.com/sources.html 

However, I would also point you to beta.sparql.uniprot.org and the rdf.ebi.ac.uk work, where you can get quite a lot of data right at the source.
In sync with the respective data providers update flow.

Regards,
Jerven
