[Bioperl-l] Thoughts on bioperl-db

[David Block]

I am very interested in this, as I have my own schema, which should
interoperate with bioperl-db.  There again needs to be a clear separation
between interface and implementation, with bioperl-db being the reference
implementation, but others available.

This has implications for biocorba and das as well... thoughts for BOSC...
