Re: [BioRDF] Comments from Christoph Grabmuller - annotation tool/ontology

A direct conversion of csv to rdf usually results in a entity-per-line
mapping. The magetab2rdf tool I made (at magetab2rdf.googlecode.com)
does a conversion of the mage tab into an rdf representation that is a
one to one mapping into the mage derivation graph and uses OBI et al
for classes and properties. It should be easily extensible to ISA tab
when Limpopo is extended to do the same.
