[Bioperl-l] What's that number?

[michael]

	Is there any code out there that can make an educated guess to the
origin of any given (biological) ID/accession number?

	X93993 AJ010957 are both valid EMBL accession numbers, P47202
looks similar but is from swissprot (a bit of digging reveals the
swissprot patten as /[OPQ]\d[A-Z\d][A-Z\d][A-Z\d]\d/ ).  Failing code is
there a biological name space document out there?

	I'm writing a public gene symbol submission form and want it to do
the right thing regardless of where the data is pasted in.
