[Biocorba-l] physical mapping applications and CORBA

[Alan Robinson]

There is an RHdb CORBA server with clients available at the EBI:

  http://corba.ebi.ac.uk/RHdb/index.html

  http://corba.ebi.ac.uk/RHdb/RHdb_CORBA.html

The IDL was developed in collaboration with Infobiogen.

Unfortunately, the implementation of the OMG spec (which uses aspects of
the RHdb IDL), fell between the cracks for a number of reasons.

I believe Jason Stajich is also interested in mapping being included in
biocorba/bioperl (at least that's what he said during the biojava
workshop).


So some groundwork is there, it just needs motivated individuals to pick
it up again!! ;)
