And just in case you haven't found it, a load of these hard-won equivalences 
are collected together at sameas.org, such as

Hi all,

I am attempting to merge 3 databases: (i) Clinicaltrials.gov 
<http://clinicaltrials.gov/>  , (ii) Geonames <http://www.geonames.org/>  , 
(iii) FDA <http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/InformationOnDrugs/ucm135162.htm>  based on 
ontologies.

There are RDF Triples already defined for (i) http://linkedct.org/index.html 
and there is already an ontology present for (ii) 
http://www.geonames.org/ontology/ . However, there is no ontology present for   
 the FDA database. The field "Zip Code" is common for all the three databases.


If the FDA datasets are not published as RDF yet, we can certainly take the 
lead in publishing them as a part of the Linking Open Drug Data [1] project.

LinkedCT already provides links to Geonames, but please let me know if you see 
any missing links.

Oktie


Could anyone suggest possibilities of how to merge the three databases, based 
on ontologies?

Thanks,
