  • Resource/Resource Version mismatch - discussed earlier
  • MetaOntology and MetaOntology mapping - BioPortal has several enumerations (Category, Group, Status) that aren't first class ontologies and, even if they were, might be better served were they drawn from OMV or a similar resource
  • URI's - BioPortal has its own URI's but many of these ontologies have one or more "official" URI's drawn from outside sources.
  • REST hyperlinks - one of the key aspects of the REST architectural style is to provide the ability to navigate the web of resources without having to know how to construct URI's. As an example, an entity reference in CTS2 (e.g. http://informatics.mayo.edu:19280/exist/cts2/codesystem/SCT/version/SCT_2010_01_31/entity/900000000000002006) carries in it a link to both the code system and the code system version in which it is described. Similarly, the descriptionType, language and any other attribute that references an ontology component has the potential for containing a hyperlink. Constructing some of these hyperlinks from the BioPortal REST service can be non-trivial.
