Re: request of the repository location for hosting *RDF, *OWL, *N3 files possibly at W3C server

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
