Ooops - a typo slipped through. What I meant to say is NCBI does NOT currently publish URIs for MeSH terms or the variety of NCBI instance records. By the way, whatever we assemble in the HCLS namespace to fill out the required assertions to support the AD Use Case - e.g., a semantically formally construct to express the relation between ADDL and the collection of APP proteolytic fragments which includes an RDF graph linking to the relevant instance data in public repositories such as GENBANK, SWISS-PROT, PDB, etc. - this will be of significant help to the ontology work we are doing in BIRN (within which the Ontology TF needs to provide this for all relevant aspects of the various neurological disorders we need to support - AD, PD, MS, Autism, and depression to some extent). This is precisely the sort of complex construct we are assembling in our BIRNLex ontology - assertions specific to neurological disease not currently represented in other public, shared semantic frameworks. We will soon have BIRNLex set up on the BIRN public web site, for other to directly peruse and/or import into OWL.
