=head1 NAME

Bio::DB::Registry - Access to the Open Bio Database Access registry scheme

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::DB::Registry();

    $registry = Bio::DB::Registry->new();

    @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
(L<http://bioperl.open-bio.org/wiki/HOWTO:OBDA>).

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

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
web:
