Converting the Human Diseasome to RDF

Proposal

Researchers have been working to create a map linking different diseases to the genes that they have in common. This work is high profile as it has been written up in top scientific journals (e.g. New England Journal of Medicine and Newspapers (e.g. the New York Times).

Laszlo Barabasi, one of the leading researchers on the diseasome, has expressed an interest in working with us on converting the data into RDF/OWL.
