[Biojava-l] LSID

[Michael Heuer]

The biojava LSID and the IBM LSID are slightly different APIs, the IBM one
the more complete of the two.  There also are/were LSID client
implementations that I'm not very familiar with in taverna [0] and for
whatever reason in an email client called Haystack [1].

I would move the biojava LSID implementation for deprecation after
release of version 1.4.x but note that it is used internally, see e.g.

org/biojava/utils/lsid/class-use/LifeScienceIdentifier.html

in the 1.4pre2 javadocs.
