==Open Source Projects==
* MAGE-TAB to MAGE-RDF: A tool to convert MAGE-TAB files, a common description format for microarray and gene expression data, into an RDF representation. http://magetab2rdf.googlecode.com
* OWLtoSKOS: A tool for converting OWL ontologies into SKOS (http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos) ontologies. This allows automated conversion of terminologies into a format that lets instance data directly reference the terms and concepts, simplifies the representations of existing controlled vocabularies and terminology hierarchies, and vastly improves inferencing performance. http://owltoskos.googlecode.com
