I'd guess a few use cases would help. What sort of things are we looking up in a directory? How are names formed? Is there a structure to them, like URN's? BioJava doesn't really (as far as I'm aware) have a bias towards client or server code. Where in the codebase would we expect directory and naming to get used?
I don't have the answers, these are just questions I'd be inclined to ask. Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: Chaganthi, Madhusudan R.
