Re: Announcing CORD-19-on-FHIR: A FHIR RDF dataset for COVID-19 research

This looks great!

Is there a dummies guide on how to use this?

It looks like there is a FHIR datamodel for modeling textual spans and you
are using this to represent the results of NER. What NER tool was used?

It looks like snomed was the main vocabulary used - this makes sense for
marking up conditions, medications, and procedures. But what about genes
(human and viral), mechanisms (e.g. viral gene function) - do you plan to
run this with any OBO ontologies?
