[MOBY-l] revised database schema

[Bruskiewich, Richard]

Hmmm.... I better start paying attention here. I know that real world
biologists are requiring more complexity than "is_a" but perhaps, MOBY
doesn't need that... Sorry... I'm probably out of context here, Mark...

PS. I'm spreading the gospel of MOBY within the CGIAR. We'll be needing to
develop this technology to facilitate biological data and service
transactions globally for a number of major research projects... Bill is
aware of our interest in this area.

ummmm..... errrrrr......  I guess not, off the top of my head.

go ahead :-)  You have full permissions on the db.
