You are right in that it is not defined on the OBDA homepage (that I 
could find), but according to the BioPerl "OBDA" HOWTO at 	 
http://bioperl.open-bio.org/wiki/HOWTO:OBDA
it is "Open Biological Database Access" which I have now made clear in 
the Bioperl WIKI entry for OBDA at http://bioperl.open-bio.org/wiki/OBDA

Some acronyms have a life of their own! :-)
