+resource.  The AnnotationHub web resource provides a central location where

+locations (e.g. UCSC, Ensembl) can be discovered.  The resource includes
+metadata about each resource, e.g., a textual description, tags, and date of
+modification.  The client creates and manages a local cache of files retrieved
+by the user, helping with quick and reproducible access.")
