Jim, The project I was referring to is Open Ontology Repository [1]. This is an open source project based on BioPortal which hosts many biology ontologies. There is a sandbox server [2]. I saw a panel discussion on this at SemTech 2010 [3]. I don't think they have a public instance up.
To see what this would look like, go to BioPortal [4]. This is a nice web interface to the terms in multiple ontologies. We could look for or wait for a public instance, or we could host the repo on our OSLC server. I poked around the OOR project. They seem to have a lot of meetings, but I could not find a place to download the code. The BioPortal code is real, but I'm not sure what shape the OOR code is in. I am following up with a project lead.
