"GA4GH VRS for the Semantic Web" https://doi.org/10.37044/osf.io/qy4td_v1

"We implemented an RDF Schema in ShEx, using OWL ontologies in the OBO Foundry such asthe NCI Thesaurus (NCIT), the Semanticscience Integrated Ontology (SIO), and the Genome Variation Ontology (GVO). We based our modelling on the VRS Schema expressed in YAML accessed during the BioHackathon 2024 week, i.e., 25-31 August and in the design principles currently used to update the GA4GH Phenopackets standard in RDF (Kaliyaperumal et al.,2022)" https://index.biohackrxiv.org/2026/04/13/qy4td.html
