:) We will see, this is just a quick sketch do demonstrate the idea for the graphics. Uniprot (and protein / gene resources in general) might indeed end up being positioned at the center, at least of the 'life science' areas. The 'health care' information resources make less use of it at the moment.

That depends on what the resolver is doing. If we can resolve a URI and get back an RDF graph that contains triples involving the same URI, then yes. If it only allows us to get back some related stuff (e.g. HTML pages), then we don't have a connection of two RDF resources and cannot draw a connection.

If a single resource deals with two related kinds of information (arbitrary example: genes and proteins), then I will try to position it on the border between those two areas.
In the rare cases where this should not be possible, the representation of the ontology is split and the two sub-ontologies are shown as separate entities.
