I think you are doing one great job in true Open Source fashion
quietly and persistently digging for data sharing what you
found and eventually massaging the data into some better

drugref.org, say as a "free-lance data mining expert" ?

I take it you _are_ aware of the fact the MeSH is being used
to classify Medline entries ?  It's maintained by the NLM as
part of the UMLS (Unified Medical Language System or along
those lines) - IIRC.
