Nice, really nice.


Surely the Ontology should not be "HUGO" in the example below but
somethign like "StandardGeneNameOntology" or something. I'm not sure. Doh!


I like the ability to add GO and other ontology terms. Should we have our
own ontology of keywords, go terms etc etc.


(another point - GO links could be represented as ontology term
attachments or dblinks. You would prefer I guess ontology term
attachments...)
