Re: BioRDF: URI Best Practices

Forgive me if I'm missing the point or just stating the obvious, but  
the "Generate OWLDoc" feature in Protégé - at least for Protégé-OWL  
files, works very nicely.  It's not the dynamically-generated view  
I'd really want ultimately, but it works great for a snapshot of an  
OWL-based ontology.

For an example, see the BIRNLex lexical index we are compiling within  
the BIRN Ontology Task Force:

Click on "View BIRNLex-Draft"

I'll definitely take a look at RAP, because in the end, we really  
need something much more dynamic than this - though there's no reason  
to think the code used in Protégé to generate OWLDocs couldn't work  
off an OWL stream constructed by querying a persistent store of some  
sort.

Cheers,
Bill
