Re: OMIM

Hi Michael

I can't seem to connect to the triplestore.

Have you considered adding associations between OMIM and phenotype ontology classes? These can be downloaded from http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/ as tab delimited files that can trivially be converted to an rdf model of choice (we will be providing OWL for this ourselves in the future, it will likely differ in modeling and URIs from bio2rdf).

The easiest way to get into the system is through a faceted search [4], or from the list of types [5], or you can try looking at a VKORC1 associated variation as an entry point [6].
