Re: Accession Numbers - Linking Strategies

Hi Tony,
  The complete list of Bio2RDF namespaces is at freebase:

http://www.freebase.com/view/base/bio2rdf/bm/-/base/bio2rdf

Please note that we have submitted our list of datasets and namespaces to
http://identifiers.org, and we are awaiting their incorporation into the
MIRIAM registry. You can submit individual datasets at identifiers.org, if
you need to :)

Best,

m.
