I think it's best to read this as a simplification of the author's previous co-authored paper at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/14/51 , with the less dramatic title 'Discovery of novel biomarkers and phenotypes by semantic technologies'.

Self-organizing maps have long been used to develop new avenues for drug research. We used SOMs for data mining HTS screens in the late 1990s. I've not heard much about them recently though. I get the feeling like that haven't added much success.
