Colleagues,
Today, we officially launched the EBI RDF Platform http://w.ww.ebi.ac.uk/rdf
The new platform, built in response to input from industry, provides
access to bioinformatics resources that support Semantic Web
technologies. EMBL-EBI hosts a comprehensive range of freely available
molecular databases. Increasingly, these public resources are committing
to providing and supporting RDF versions of their data. The RDF platform
helps developers get to grips with the technology and the data,
supporting further integration of applications. Over time, the goal is
to create a seamless experience for scientists exploring the scientific
literature and the data that supports it, spanning genes, expression,
proteins, pathways, networks and many other types.
We welcome questions and feedback on the EBI RDF mailing list
