Hi - So is there a plan to do a OBDASeqDB which would act like the BioSQLDB in biojava but not require the underlying SQL schema.
Does OBDA actually place restrictions on the underlying schema? The reason I ask is that our in house database doesn't match the BioSQL schema closely enough for it to be useful but it would be nice to use things developed in OBDA if we can.
