Michael Anello of DrupalEasy did an amazing job making me make sense talking about RDF– I learned some things listening to myself:
Talking RDF with Benjamin Melançon of Agaric.

Stéphane Corlosquet talks about RDF in Drupal's future and mentions SCF in a short podcast recorded at DrupalCon Washington DC in March.

Stéphane, who worked with the SCF team for five weeks around DrupalCon, is organizing an RDF-in-Core sprint at DERI in Galway, Ireland, to push semantics in Drupal as far as we can.

Robert Douglass of Acquia has twittered several times about PubMed and Drupal, most recently regarding FeedAPI rather than Biblio, inspiring me to make clearer what SCF is doing in that regard.

Normal XML parsers for FeedAPI can deal with PubMed XML, but we need our imports handled by

Rather than making another mapping option for FeedAPI (such as FeedAPI RDF does), the approach we've taken is to bring content in from PubMed feeds in a more direct way than GoPubMed (which converts to bibtex first!).

It's still hard-coded and a little hacky, but the rationale is that until Biblio is converted to CCK it's a fast interim approach.

This import code is living in SCF custom modules under biblioreference as pubmed_import.inc pending having a home in GoPubMed or Biblio itself (or obsolescence).

We would really, really like to convert Biblio to CCK (and get all the Views and faceted search integration that comes with that) for Science Collaboration Framework.
