Re: new use case for SPE ontology: PlosOne's Topaz publishing platform

Amit,

We would also be interested in discussing ways of integrating SWAN -  
which is very "publishing-oriented" at its upper level- with such  
other efforts as PlosOne, and SPE.  Why don't we have a discussion by  
phone this week?
