So the introduction is fairly general, the web is full of heterogeneous data and access methods, we need metadata and we need a standard format to put our metadata in which in this case is RDF. The speaker is now talking about the proliferation of all the different BioXML standards, for example MAGE-ML, SBML, etc. The problem in pathway databases is particularly bad with many formats describing the same thing. So according to the speaker we should unify on RDF/XML. Then we get all the so-called "stuff for free" e.g. inference, integration etc. http://www.nodalpoint.org/node/1661#comments Bioinformatics Data management ISMB2005 RSS Semantic web XML Sun, 26 Jun 2005 11:20:39 -0400 Greg 1661 at http://www.nodalpoint.org
