=head1 NAME
Bio::DB::Registry - Access to the Open Bio Database Access registry scheme
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Bio::DB::Registry();
$registry = new Bio::DB::Registry();
@available_services = $registry->services;
$db = $registry->get_database('embl');
# $db is a Bio::DB::SeqI implementing class
$seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc("J02231");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module provides access to the Open Bio Database Access (OBDA)
scheme, which provides a single cross-language and cross-platform
specification of how to get to databases. These databases may be
accessible through the Web, they may be BioSQL databases, or
they may be local, indexed flatfile databases.
If the user or system administrator has not installed the default init
file, seqdatabase.ini, in /etc/bioinformatics or ${HOME}/.bioinformatics
then creating the first Registry object copies the default settings from
the www.open-bio.org. The Registry object will attempt to store these
settings in a new file, ${HOME}/.bioinformatics/seqdatabase.ini.
Users can specify one or more custom locations for the init file by
setting $OBDA_SEARCH_PATH to those directories, where multiple
directories should be separated by ';'.
Please see the OBDA Access HOWTO for more information

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the
