Re: Minutes from BioRDF/LODD telcon Monday 06/12/2012

I would also be interested in extending this with data extracted from 
European product labels. Compared to the US and Dailymed, this is far 
trickier. The data is not openly available for many countries, content has 
different languages, and structured product labels are even harder to come 
by.

A Viennese startup called http://www.diagnosia.com/de/ recently made package 
insert texts from 12 European countries openly available. I plan to contact 
them and see if they would also be interested in cooperating with research 
projects. We might not end up with a resource that can be shared without 
restrictions, but at least we could end up with something that allows us to 
run SPARQL queries for analysis and research.

Other ideas for how such a multilingual, pan-European ressource are welcome!

Cheers,
Matthias
