Thank you

@obsidian83 are you an appropriate contact person for this project?

Hi

@cthoyt, I see his name under VectorBase's personnel page, so I think it's fine.

@obsidian83, I'm happy to update the description, I'm just unsure about the resource update. At the moment, identifiers.org can only register one institution per resource. We try to have the institution in charge of hosting the service as the one registered. This is because of an old plan to have a resolution based on geo-location (which we might never actually implement). Do you happen to know which institution hosts the service?

In addition, when a service moves from one institution to another, we add a new resource and deprecate the previous one, that way we maintain the historical information of the previous institution.
