How to generate RDF-friendly URIs for recognized entities

<entity_name gena_id="GMM040544" species="Mus musculus" db_site="EntrezGene:13138|MGI:101864|PIR:S59630|SWISS-PROT:Q62165|TrEMBL:Q8BPJ7"

--->  http://purl.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q62165

Note: If given the choice, prefer Swissprot over TrEMBL

<entity_name id="disease6" facta_id="UMLS:C0878544" type="disease">cardiomyopathy</entity_name>

---> Unfortunately we still don't have well accepted URIs for UMLS yet. We could do a lookup and provide URIs pointing to the OBO disease ontology, but this is a bit computationally expensive.

<entity_name id="compound18615" facta_id="CAS:79-43-6" type="compound">Dichloroacetate</entity_name>
<entity_name id="enzyme1375" facta_id="EC:3.5.3.22" type="enzyme">
<entity_name id="compound18620" facta_id="CAS:61-78-9" type="compound">PAH</entity_name>
</entity_name>

---> CAS and EC numbers would need to be mapped as well

Using TogoDB, although not a primary database provider, you can use URI for UMLS (subset, those can be redistributed).
