This is chiefly for the RDF/OWL Task Group (I thought there was a
separate mailing list for this, but given that now I can't find any,
perhaps not?). You may remember that I cited an article on best
practices in interoperable RDF data publishing in the life sciences
that I had hoped we could work off of for a TDWG community-tailored
best practices note. This has now been turned into an W3C Interest
Group note, and is thus public. If you have not seen this before, it
may provide for interesting reading and stuff to discuss as for
applicability to biodiversity science data.

Subject: [biohackathon:372] HCLS IG Note on mapping and publishing
life sciences RDF
Reply-To: biohackathon(a)googlegroups.com
Dear Colleagues,
With data sharing becoming more widely known and accepted, the need
for the means to accomplish data sharing *in practice* is an important
technical challenge. The Linked Open Drug Data task force in HCLS has
attempted to address this need by developing a DRAFT IG Note regarding
practices for mapping and linking life science data using RDF. The
document, largely based on a recently submitted article, is being
staged as a Google Doc for your review and comment[1].
In the draft document above, we attempt to supply a guide for those
who would like to produce and publish data in RDF. We would like you
to lend us your extensive expertise and would very much appreciate and
carefully consider your candid comments, questions or suggestions to
improve the note.
Ideally, someone with basic knowledge of the Semantic Web stack and
the desire to 'publish' linked data will be able to get started from
this online document. We have removed the use case descriptions to
make it more 'W3C note-like' (concise). The use case descriptions will
be available in an article (in review) that covers much of the same
material (pre-prints available on request).
Kind regards,
M. Scott Marshall
LODD Chair, on behalf of the LODD Editors and Contributors

P.S. Lee Harland just alerted me to a relevant resource that we will
probably cite or otherwise integrate into the above note:
Looks very interesting:
