Here's a link to a test page for EMBL's data on the OWW beta server. I'll add
information about the database names, formats, and styles if there's
interest. <br>
<br> <a href="http://beta.openwetware.org/oww-dev/embla3.html">http://beta.openwetware.org/oww-dev/embla3.html</a><br><br>I've factored out a simple browser for the databases, styles, and formats supported via EBML at
<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk">http://www.ebi.ac.uk</a>:<br><br>This page currently will open a new window with the style and format requested for the database. The browser lists the format supported for each of the formats. I can build a simplified version of this same query into the biblio extension.
<br><br>Let me know about how you folks would like to see the formats and styles handled. I can default it to one specific set of parameters but allow for the addition of options if needed.<br><br>I'm looking into the DDBJ format as well.
