It is a pleasure working with you! I have a question about the title of the email... it is now entering the social web as title too, and was wondering about the Open Data nature of the data... the wiki page [5] does not provide any license information or copyright statement, or any other claim about the users rights to modify (extend, fix typos, ...) and redistribute, two rather important aspects of Open Data [5]. In particular, I was not aware that the DrugBank data actually was Open. That said, I am not entirely sure how the LODD name of the task force came about and whether it actually attempts to identify itself with Open Data, or merely downloadable data. Can you please elaborate on these issues?
