Today, the revolution in empirical technologies has generated vast amounts of data. This data deluge has created an urgent need to assimilate it with a panoramic view. To this end, information systems play a central role in managing and integrating these data, aiding the biologists in exploiting this integrated information for the extraction of new knowledge. The plant bioinformatics node of the Institut Français de Bioinformatique (IFB) maintains public information systems where a variety of domain specific data are integrated. Currently, efforts are being taken to expose the IFB plant bioinformatics resources as RDF, utilising domain specific ontologies and met a data. Here, we p resent the overview and the progress of the project.
