RE: Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)

Will be interesting to brainstorm the potential use cases for which this data
may be useful.

Indeed this would be an interesting set to rdf-ize. It might also be interesting
based on the dataset complexity (i.e., moderate complexity) to see what
practical stratgey for RDF conversion one would choose.

Perhaps a few folks could look at this data structure, consider some approaches
(e.g., RDF-Schema only vs. a minimal ontology), and discuss this on the next
BioRDF call?

At a talk I attended today, this resource of patient cancer diagnoses 
was mentioned as an example of publicly available clinical data. A 
quick look over the documentation suggests it might be an interesting 
project to produce an RDF version of the data set.

The SEER limited-use data* include SEER incidence and population data 
associated by age, sex, race, year of diagnosis, and geographic areas 
(including SEER registry and county)
