Dear Beatrice, Just a quick note from my side. This sounds like a great initiative. What it really needs is long term support so people know they can rely on it. It is complimentary to what we are discussing now at the SIG about identifying ontologies that have made the effort to be and are in fact CRM compliant. SIG needs its own process to evaluate and location to display this information but, at least from my point of view, I see these are complimentary rather than competitive activities. The CH portal would be an important window into the overall environment beyond only CRM based modeling exercises (as well as important lists of vocabularies). One of our discussions in issue 682 is about the metadata required to gather for an ontology wishing to be listed on the SIG site as official. I imagine experience from the OntoPortal design might bring some interesting perspectives. Those are my two cents. Would be glad to be put into the information loop about any updates on this initiative.
