I have been rdfising the sideeffects database for Bio2RDF over the
last week. It is linked pretty well to stitch so there is value in
having the actual information in RDF. When it is complete the scripts
will be available for others to also use to perform the rdfisation
themselves.

I haven't been focusing on the license metadata but as they aren't
using the same license for all of their files it would be good to go
back and encode which license each piece of information is released
under.

Cheers,
