BioRDF Task Force
BioRDF Activities
• Explore the effectiveness of current tools for making
data available as RDF/OWL
• Build a life sciences demo that spans from bench to
bedside using RDF/OWL to help scientist better
understand the value of the Semantic Web
• Document our finding to help accelerate the adoption
of the Semantic Web by others
