Gene identifier synonym table standard and/or repository?

[Simon Twigger]

We have the same thing at RGD in our FTP file  
(http://rgd.mcw.edu/pub/data_release/GENES). Amongst other things we  
have symbol, name, IDs for this gene in RGD, LocusLink, Ratmap and the  
synonyms - both symbol and names.
