I'm not really clear about what you mean by this.  In BioJava,
BioSQLSequenceDB is just an implementation of SequenceDB.  Similarly,
the other OBDA-ish datasources that have been implemented all implement
either SequenceDB or SequenceDBLite.

Similarly, if you want to implement one of the OBDA server protocols
(BioCorba or BioFetch), you can do that in BioJava backed by any
SequenceDB implementation (the backend doesn't actually have to be
at all OBDA-ish).

What methods/contract did you have in mind for OBDASeqDB?
