Improved collaboration with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), health care and life sciences has been accomplished. A press release has expressed the company's excitement about launching a new connection with the medical industry and the semantic web. "This new venture puts W3C specifications through the paces of a dynamic, multifaceted and interdependent set of communities," said Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director.

This means better data sharing, efficient care delivery,and improved drug safety. All of this will embed semantics into medical information enabling research to be shared more easily, therefore saving time and money in finding cures to diseases, making drugs safer and more affordable, and facilitate health care providers in giving personalized care to patients.
