Right now, information about the ontology (name, id, virtual id, status) is spread out in different places (concept resources, temporary service calls, etc). If we would represent ontologies as separate resources and link to them from concept resources and mapping resources, updating an ontology resource (e.g. when status or display name are known) would affect all concept resources. This could help us to clean up a lot of ontology related code.

David, what is you opinion on this idea? And how long would it take to implement it?
