Gene identifier synonym table standard and/or repository?

[Hester Wain]

Hello Fritz,

For human genes there is a list of approved symbols along with aliases and 
previous symbols (all synonyms) available at URL:

HGNC ID Status  Approved Gene Symbol    Approved Gene Name      Previous 
symbol Enzyme ID       Location        Aliases MGI
PMID1   PMID2   Sequence Accession ID   Previous Gene Name      GDB 
ID  LocusLink ID    OMIM    Ref_Seq Swiss-Prot ID
