[BioSQL-l] Web front-ends to BioSQL

[Hilmar Lapp]

I agree, but I also think one of the questions that should be devoted  
significant thought to is in which ways and to what extend such a web- 
service API needs to be or has to be different from DAS (or DAS/2,  
which allows write-back).

The DAS model is a bit different from BioSQL's in that it doesn't  
distinguish between sequences and sequence features. But I'm not that  
alone suffices to motivate a completely different API.
