I think that we should focus on driving the development of our infrastructure forward: including user interfaces, integrating the other datasources that are not used in the current demo scenario, adding functionality for distributed queries. Then we should publish the end results in a high profile journal as a community paper.
I would see Nature Biotechnology as a good candidate, since it seems to be open to such community papers and already has published a paper that is a quite general review of Semantic Web Technologies in the life sciences [1].
We may want to give another 'demo' to a more HCLS-oriented audience, too, but I think such a paper would have much stronger impact and would also give more 'academical reward' to all the people that have worked on it -- which is not really the case with the upcoming WWW2007 demo, since many participants are not listed as authors/presenters or are not even attending the conference.
cheers,
Matthias Samwald
