I don't know if I've confessed publicly to this on nodalpoint, but I am a big fan of the semantic web. The life science identification protocol (LSID) is related to the semantic web, but is yet to gain any real traction. LSID has been covered on nodalpoint in the past. There is currently a thread on the W3C semantic web for life sciences mailing list asking for suggestions on how to make LSID work. I have been meaning to reply to that thread so this post is intended a reminder for me and announcement for anyone who may be interested in contributing to the discussion.

I won't go into detail here, I'll save it for my reply, but generally speaking the problem is we don't have a clear path showing how the semantic web should benefit the life sciences. More to follow...
