[Open-bio-l] Re: [Bioperl-l] seq namespace method

[Ewan Birney]

I would claim the right pattern here is to have


  Bio::IdentifiableI

which Bio::PrimarySeqI inheriets from and Bio::PrimarySeq implements.


  Bio::IdentifiableI would have slots for namespace, version, id (NB 
**no** type) and would be compatiable with the 13C naming convention 
thingy to produce I3C style names (so it might also have "authority" as a 
slot).
