Accessing CCO through ontology URLs

[swartik]

When I retrieve http://www.ontologyrepository.com/CommonCoreOntologies/Mid/UnitsOfMeasureOntology, the result has invalid characters. Try it in a web browser, and search for AngstromMeasurementUnit. Look at the alternative labels. The page information claims the source is UTF-8, but the characters aren't right.

The version on github fixes this, but my struggles to make Protege access what I intend sometimes fail. Are there plans to update whatever repository the above URL resolves to?

@swartik Thanks for catching this. What page informaiton are you referring to? Are you downloading them and then opening in a text editor?

@mark-jensen By "page information" I meant when you get when, in Firefox, you right-click and select View Page Info.

I've retrieved the page 3 ways:

1. Through Protege, by selecting the File > Open from URL menu item.
2. Through Firefox and Chrome, by entering the URL into the Location text box.
3. Using wget, and then viewing the file using Emacs.

I get the erroneous characters in all 3 cases.
