Thanks for the pointer.  This actually looks pretty similar
to the interfaces Matthew came up with -- they should be
compatible without any trouble (except that the BioJava ones
are potentially read-write).

It would be worth having an implementation which talks to the
EBI server.


Now why does BioSQL have a taxonomy model built in, then...
