Hi Trish, You can contact me regarding questions about this. BioPortal provides an ontology library containing the different release versions of ontologies, as submitted to us by the content owners, but is not a content management system such as cvs. Different ontology developers will use their preferred local systems to keep alpha versions of their ontologies, and submit the release versions to BioPortal. We are also working on a mechanism to pull current versions of ontologies from the source systems, and we'd be interested in exploring doing this for your ontologies as well. We will be adding ontology diff, supported through PROMPT. We can identify deprecated terms, and this service is provided by LexGrid.
