Alan, I find myself continually groping for the requirements. Could you provide a specific example of what you want to do with the URI in RDF, i.e. a specific piece of RDF with a specific gene? It might help us to frame the discussion (if you still have time!). It seems like what we'd all like to have is a central authority that will provide a web-accessible registry of commonly used references. That's why I was encouraged by Ben Szekely's posting[1]. Let's not forget to discuss LSID's and how they would (not?) fit into the picture.

I think that it would be very useful if a definition, i.e. an OWL class, came back. -- M. Scott Marshall http://integrativebioinformatics.nl/
