::::::::Thanks all for the additional thoughts. First on the subject of '''classifying disease''', just a couple of thoughts. We are actively coordinating with the Disease Ontology [http://disease-ontology.org/] folks, and classification/organization of disease terms into higher-level concepts is definitely something they've thought a lot about. We are hoping to include some elements of that structure into the disease infobox. However, it's not quite the same as linking a disease to the primary specialty. Perhaps we should also follow the model of {{tl|Breast_cancer_types}} and |{{tl|Systemic connective tissue disorders}}? Again, this is not purely a bot issue since it will take human input to do the classifications...
::::::::Second, on the issue of '''wikidata''', 100% in agreement. I apparently neglected to mention this, but we definitely will plan to put all the infobox data that we add/maintain into wikidata. And that includes all the old stuff we've done with {{tl|GNF Protein box}}. Having said that, I think we're going to leave the discussion at [[Template_talk:Infobox person]] to others. Just know we'll be on board once all the options for querying and inclusion are worked out... Cheers, [[User:Andrew Su|Andrew Su]] ([[User talk:Andrew Su|talk]]) 00:47, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
:::::::::re Classifying disease, I note in one the examples given at User:ProteinBoxBot/Phase 3 "inherited metabolic disorder" used. Now this is disease classification rather than the specialism that addresses the disorder; could have both I suppose. The risk is this gets idiosyncratic between articles with endless variations confusing medics as well as the non-specialist. Would we wish to restrict this to sub-parameters to enact a [[surgical sieve]] ? Hence have 3 variables of "Acquired-Congetial"; "Cause" (or 'Mechanism') eg inflammatory, infectious, cancer; and "Target_system" (eg Cardiac, Renal, or Systemic) ?

: This looks like a very interesting project. Where can we go to stay abreast of the progress? [[User:Klortho|Klortho]] ([[User talk:Klortho|talk]]) 13:22, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
::Great, glad you find it interesting! For the moment, we'll keep the discussion on this page (and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Pharmacology#Proposal_to_create.2Fmaintain_drug_infoboxes the parallel discussion on compounds/drugs]). Eventually we'll bring together all of the various activities into a single place -- probably at [[User:ProteinBoxBot]].
