Yes. Just to warn - I need to rerun the Allen translation. I've  
noticed at least two things 1) There are fewer genes that are in the  
KB currently than I though I had loaded - don't know what happened.  
And 2) I need to use the newest purl.org uri scheme and do a mapping  
to entrez gene, as I realized that wasn't in the initial mapping.   
Also, I want to merge the ABA ontology with the sciencecommons  
ontology, so there may be some changes in predicate and class names  
to conform with the style we finally settled on. I'll load this in to  
a new graph and then tell you when it is ready and what has changed.

I've also noticed the effects of the lack of spatial alignment  
between images. You can see it clearly in another version of the  
exhibit example. So high on my list when talking with them will be to  
get some spatial information.

The MBAT tools sounds cool. Do you think it should go into the sfn  
abstract?
