[bioontology-support] Bioportal

[Natasha Noy]

Dear Min,

Thank you for your interest in BioPortal. BioPortal is open-source and  
you can install it locally. However, in general you will get more  
value and much less maintenance headache if you upload your ontologies  
to BioPortal itself. Are there particular reasons why you would like  
to have a local installation? If there are some things that we can do  
on our side to help you with that, we'll be happy to do it. We update  
BioPortal frequently and thus having your own installation will pose  
maintenance challenges. We also have extremely limited resources for  
technical support.

Natasha
