RE: Minutes for Terminology call

Interesting. I wonder how difficult it would be to convert our AIM data in
BIMM to A-tags? Would that be beneficial or are we better off with our
current paradigm of a SPARQL endpoint atop BIMM?

BTW--where did things stand about pursuing our use case with the mammography
reports I sent out?
