Hi Rod,
     We have implementations of NCBI Pubmed, Genbank, Protein, and OMIM. 
Gene is on the way.  I'm in the process of updating our implementations 
since the NCBI upgraded their web service to 1.4.  I have created OWL 
ontologies for the various databases that you might find useful in your 
implementation.  They will be posted online soon but I could send them to 
you if you like.
