It appears impossible to go back to the source of each term. That is really not good. One of the goals of any ontology, vocabulary, or terminology effort should be to preserve and present existing namespaces and identifiers and enable crosswalks. Knowing when a mapping is made is crucial to maintenance, validation and versioning.

Thank you for pointing this out. The page in question is a high level resource page for the disease ontology as a project and thus provides no way to access the information within the disease ontology. However, given your experience it is clear that this is a mistake and that we are missing some important links for all of our ontology resources: a link for ontology development, a link to the raw ontology file itself (preferably via its canonical iri), and a link that will allow a user to search within the ontology (and find the identifiers and namespaces).
