Biodiversity informatics seems rather short on examples of RDF and Semantic Web browsers, and the promised dream of being able to link data together.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Prompted by Jim Balhoff of NESCent asking why bioGUID didn't play with MIT's Piggy Bank, I managed to get bioGUID tom play ball, so now you can extract RDF from bioGUID web pages, and store and browse these in Piggy Bank. Given that bioGUID tries to extract GUIDs from its sources, and renders all the RDF in a consistent fashion, it is possible to navigate around data from PubMed, GenBank, and DiGIR providers. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I've put some notes up at <a href="http://bioguid.blogspot.com/2007/08/piggy-bank-and-bioguid-browsing.html">http://bioguid.blogspot.com/2007/08/piggy-bank-and-bioguid-browsing.html</a> . </div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Rod</div><div><br><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">----------------------------------------</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Professor Roderic D.
