Hi Kingsley,
Good idea.
But FYI, the reason Cecil presented his ontology was to allow us to
compare and contrast the various approaches that different individuals
have taken toward developing a FHIR ontology. (Others were presented
previously.) The joint HL7-W3C group on RDF for Semantic Interoperability
http://wiki.hl7.org/index.php?title=RDF_for_Semantic_Interoperability
is working to converge on an ontology that could be adopted as a
standard by the HL7 FHIR work group. As such, it is only an input to
our process rather than a final result (though Cecil may well use it
himself as currently is).
Best wishes,
David

FYI, I have uploaded the FHIR ontology that Cecil Lynch discussed on
Tuesday's call. It is available both in Turtle and RDF/XML, for those
who would like to examine it in more detail or play with it:

Thanks Cecil!

Wondering if Cecil could add some rdfs:isDefinedBy relations to this
ontology? Right now, modulo the aforementioned relations, here's how
things look:
[1] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/8KGHOH -- sample Class definition
[2] http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/c/9D446PV2 -- Ontology in general.

On today's teleconference Cecil Lynch reviewed his FHIR ontology
approach, which was generated directly from the FHIR XML Schema
documents (XSDs) using TopBraid Composer's XML->RDF translation
capabilities. This approach was similar to the approach taken by EricP
and Josh Mandel, but it used different translation machinery and had
some stylistic differences.
We also started discussing FHIR ontology requirements:
