Yes, our plan will be to provide URIs for referencing all content. We hope to have that available soon.
In addition, we are also working on exposing as Web services the functions available through the BioPortal GUI.
Let us know if you have any other questions or feedback on requirements. Our goal is to make BioPortal broadly useful to the ontology and biomedical community.
Thanks
Daniel

Mark,
I do think this is the right way to share and interlink ontologies. We would certainly support the cross-linking from our activity sites, as well as using them directly.
Looking at the interface, it is not clear to me ho best to reference an element of the ontologies there-- is there a URI mechanism that can be used directly by outside researchers? How does this relate to the DOID # (i.e., namespaces)?
best,
Eric

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

Welcome!
The task forces at HCLS are working on various use cases, converting datasets, generating RDF, OWL, N3 files. Currently, some of these files are stored at ESW wiki site, some are at personal/company sites.
The request for a permanent repository location to host such files generated at HCLS group has been discussed before. The BioRDF, BioOnt and ACPP group would like to post this request again.
Changing URIs of some of the files could be expensive and tedious in a later stage.
Thanks for your help.

Dear all,
First of all, a very happy new year to all of you!
If you remember, I came in as staff contact for the HCLS IG as a
'temporary' measure, until this is sorted out. I am pleased to inform
you that, as of January, the new staff contact for this IG is Eric
Prud'hommeaux <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Let me welcome him in the name of the group!
I will stay on the group as an 'alternate' staff contact, so you will
not get rid of me that easily:-). But the real guy is now Eric.
As a first explicit issue: it seems that some of the zakim reservations
were not done for 2007, so the biordf group had problems today. Please,
send all the zakim reservations you manage to Eric, so that he can check
with the guardians of zakim the status. All bridge reservations should
be extended until the end of this year, I guess.
Ivan
