NCBO BioPortal support requests

Support (for issues) and feature requests for the NCBO BioPortal can be submitted through the following venues (according to Benjamin Dai, BioPortal Lead Software Architect):

• BioPortal 2.0 Tracker at the BMIR GForge installation
• Support email: support@bioontology.org

NCBO BioPortal User Group:

We are a (voting) member of the BioPortal User Group. The group has monthly teleconferences where new features are being discusses and subsequently prioritized through survey-voting.

• A Basecamp-based BioPortal project management site (login required) has User Group meeting presentations and other information.

Bibliography

We also maintain a list of references on Connotea, using the tag "phenoscape". This list may be more up-to-date than the bibliography below. Anyone can easily recommend references (and in fact any site or resource) to us simply by tagging it with "phenoscape" in Connotea.
