The classification can be downloaded from:: http://www.julesberman.info/devclass.htm
The Classification is available in several different formats: XML, RDF and flat-file.
I have prepared three web pages that display short excerpts of each document style, so that you can quickly assess the different formats.
The excerpts are available at:
Flat-file: http://www.julesberman.info/plaintxt.htm
XML: http://www.julesberman.info/plainxml.htm
RDF (Resource Description Format): http://www.julesberman.info/plainrdf.htm
A search engine that permits look-ups of neoplasm names, retrieving synonyms and related terms from the Developmental Classificaiton, is available at: http://www.julesberman.info/neoget.htm

In June, 2014, my book, entitled Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs: Keys to Understanding and Treating the Common Diseases was published by Elsevier. The book builds the argument that our best chance of curing the common diseases will come from studying and curing the rare diseases.
I urge you to read more about my book. There's a generous preview of the book at the Google Books site. If you like the book, please request your librarian to purchase a copy of this book for your library or reading room.
