Data for Rare Diseases are often distributed. Ideally, we can combine relevant data and biological insights from any place in the world and use it directly as input for computational analysis. However, too often data is poorly described making it hard to find, hard to assess its quality, and hard to integrate with other data. A valid question is: 'Why can't we analyse data as if it came from one global database?'. Here we introduce the Semantic Web as an enabling technology for making data interoperable and thereby expediting biological insight. …
