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
