Hi. I have no knowledge whatsoever about BioSQL, but v1.0 was just released. But its description contains these intriguing lines: "BioSQL is a generic, extensible relational model for sequences, sequence features, their annotation, and ontology terms. It is also designed as the interoperable persistence interface between the Bio* projects."
BioSQL to Biomart translator anyone? It would be pretty cool if you could take a bunch of EMBL genome .embl files and run a script on them that would use Bioperl to throw them into BioSQL tables, and then MartBuilder could create a mart out of them. http://news.open-bio.org/archives/2008_03.html#000094 Perhaps you already know all about this. -Amir
