I'd like to put in a vote that we take Mark up on his offer to have the files hosted on the BioPortal. I think this is consistent with the portion of the charter that says "HCLS will actively coordinate with groups and consortia within Life Sciences and Health Care areas: ... Research Institutes and Centers".

The NCBO's mission is to support exactly what Helen is requesting. Should there be any any advantage we see to storing the data at W3C over NCBO, let's give that feedback to them and see if they can address it.

Helen,

We'd be delighted to have you consider hosting these files on the BioPortal ontology repository that we are creating as part of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (see http:// www.bioontology.org/ncbo/faces/index.xhtml). We soon will be releasing BioPortal to the community, and this repository was created for just the purpose that you have in mind.

Anyone can give the pre-release version a spin; we are extremely eager for feedback.

Regards,

Mark
