Re: PharmaOntology / TMO KB Wiki Demo Page.... BROKEN sparql endpoint

Hi Joanne,
  Happy New Year!

  As you and everybody on this list is already aware, it is challenging
(and arguably impossible) to maintain SPARQL endpoints indefinitely (and
certainly without any business plan to support it). We put up this server
for demonstration purposes in support of our paper [1], primarily so that
reviewers could reproduce the answers to our queries at the time of review.
The main outcome of our paper was not the availability of the SPARQL
endpoint, but the emphasis that a global ontology could be used to
integrate other ontologies and linked open data for biomedical research.
 Since we cannot guarantee access to that SPARQL endpoint, those with
sufficient expertise can reconstruct our experiment using the data which we
made available on the Google Code site [2] (also indicated in the paper).
The only tricky part when using Virtuoso is to create the ruleset "infer"
so as to generate the transitive closure for the subclass hierarchy.

Cheers,

m.
