[Biocorba-l] Persistent IOR for the EMBL Biocorba server (fwd)

[Ewan Birney]

Below is the URL location of a persistent (I believe in a sort of day-long
persistence manner - alan can feel us in on the details) for the biocorba
0.2 IOR of the EMBL server.


Alan - what is the persistence of this IOR (days? weeks? years?) and how
often is the EMBL DB replicated to this server?



This means we should be able to build pacakges/systems that can
automatically "find" EMBL and server sequences out straight from the
package, which I think would be a great benefit for people.


Jason - I am thinking that this coming release of bioperl we should have a 
real plug'n'play bioperl-corba-client package that you can just drop in
and have work with some scripts ready-to-go 


Brad - I'm happy to work with this on biopython as well


What is the status of the biojava corba client layer? Has this stalled?


(hmmm... is any emboss people tuned in ... we should get that hooked up as
well).


Perhaps we should also make a distribution of example clients which do not
have bindings to their respective project libraries but are "just
biocorba" only.
