The ego api, although the basis for a very nice tool (thanks, Tom!), is specific to the Gene Ontology, and is read-only. With structured vocabularies and ontologies becoming more prevalent in the various bioinformatics projects (GO, biosql, DAS 2.0, etc), maybe we need to aim a bit more general? I should be able to run the package of interfaces we use for a structured vocabulary api through the lawyers this afternoon, to submit to biojava as a proposal. michael _______________________________________________ Biojava-l mailing list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l
