Curious of your affiliation, if you're willing to provide it. I recently joined the Big Data Genomics team at UC Berkeley AMPLab, a GA4GH contributor. I was initially quite impressed with the GA4GH effort, because it was transparent and producing useful things, in terms of schema and code in github repositories. I am afraid now it has all gone working groups and private email threads and very little is happening in the open any more. I wish I understood semantic web. I've built more than one system on it but have never found a use case that sells it for me.
