Re: [Ops-ttf] Fwd: DrugBank not available?

Thanks for the link. Great to see you using VoID to describe the data.

I'd argue for having a triple capturing the explicit version number of the DrugBank dataset using a triple like the following. My reason is that we encountered a lot of problems in Open PHACTS tracing what versions of datasets were being used when the only information we had to go on was the conversion date.
<http://bio2rdf.org/bio2rdf_dataset:drugbank> <http://purl.org/pav/version> "3.0" .

I note that you describe both the RDF version of DrugBank and the original DrugBank data as a void:Dataset. My understanding of the class definition is that the dataset should be captured in RDF [1]. For this reason, in our Open PHACTS work we would tend to use the dctype:Dataset class to define the original DrugBank data [2].
