Should new releases be uploaded to BioPortal?

The first version was uploaded to bioportal. Does this need to be done for each release? What are the benefits?

Bioportal seems to be the perfect place for non-expert users to get in contact with an ontology due mainly to the nice search box and the graph representation. I would say even better than web-protege. Renault used to show PaNET around in scientists through Bioportal. It is a good idea to expose PaNET through this well know portal.

I just found the following in the Readme so probably the bioportal is already updated.

"At the moment, only one reviewer can approve and merge the changes to the master branch. Before any merge to the master branch, it is recommended to upload the new version of the OWL file to BioPortal to ensure that the file is correctly configured and displayed in BioPortal before any release. In each upload, BioPortal will check the validity of the file, convert it to other formats such as RDF and XML. After the merge to master, the PaNET ontology will automatically be updated on BioPortal over the night."

Apparently, this is not the case. BioPortal currently displays: "Last uploaded: April 25, 2024" and that upload is tagged as version 1.0.0-3-g6a0b629-dirty. But we have a release version 1.1.0 from June 17.
