I suppose that by speaking up I've volunteered, but that's all right. I'm somewhat familiar with both domains (there are several bioinformatics database curators in Edinburgh we've interacted with). I can imagine that further in the future, the already blurry line between public policy studies and eHealth might be even blurrier. Is there a reason not to do both? either - add an eHealth/bioinformatics use case focusing on linked data - or describing the eGov & eHealth aspects as instances of a generic scenario ? Or would that make it too unfocused? --James -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
