The references to Linked Data applications in the life sciences could be 
improved in the next revision of the (otherwise great) book.

Quote:
"A Life Science application that relies on knowledge from more than 200 
publicly available ontologies in order to support its users in exploring 
biomedical resources is the NCBO Resource Index. A second example of a 
Linked Data application from this domain is Diseasome Map. The application 
combines data from various Life Science data sources in order to generate a 
'network of disorders and disease genes linked by known disorder-gene 
associations, indicating the common genetic origin of many diseases.'"

To my knowledge the NCBO Resource Index does not access linked data 
(although BioPortal is exposing lots of data in RDF, of course). Diseasome 
data was converted to Linked Data as part of the LODD effort, but the actual 
diseasome project and the map are completely independent of these efforts, 
and do not use RDF or Linked Data.
