Making Identifiers.org URIs as the de facto (and primary?) IDs for RDF in life sciences would be a good idea for interoperability, although we need to design missing common IDs especially for genomes. Also, it is important to host cross references among those IDs as RDF and at SPARQL endpoint. We may achieve this with sustainable collaboration of Bio2RDF (US/Canada), EdgeStore (Japan) and Id.org (UK).

IDs represented in RDF should use Identifiers.org URIs primarily.
