FDA: Semantic Web Technologies Fellowship

FDA, Office of Translation Sciences Center for Drug Evaluation and
Research, has announced a fellowship working on 1): "improving the
efficiency of human drug review through required electronic submissions and
standardization of electronic drug application data utilizing Semantic Web
technologies."

Background: I see this as a direct outcome of the presentation Charlie Mead
did at the FDA in November 2) based on the position paper 3) that followed
a discussion on this emailing list last summer 4). The presentation raised
some really good interest. So, earlier this year Charlie and Frederik
Malfait, working with Roche's semantic web based metadata and standards
solution 5), did follow-up presentations and Charie also had a longer
session with the FDA just before CSHALS.

Kind Regards
Kerstin
