[seek-dev] data integration use cases

[Deana D. Pennington]

These are on my to-do list, along with getting examples of the data,
constructing an example ontology (simplified from Rich's ontologies), and
manually annotating the fields as an example.  I'm at a conference right now,
but this is getting close to the top of the list when I return.
