[DAS] Info about BioXML

[Matthew Pocock]

Hi,

BioXML would be a good thing to resurrect. I would be happy to help 
manage it. My vision would be to publish several (perhaps many) small 
xml-schema deffinitions for common biological data types & 
encoders/decoders for each project. This should help us avoid getting 
bogged down in the eternal data-model for everything quagmire.

There is also the issue of SOAP services & interfaces - we should realy 
be doing something in this area, but java seems to be becomming the 
standard webservices language, so I don't know if the other projects 
would be interested.
