=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 net. The Registry object will attempt to store these settings in
${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
(http://bioperl.org/HOWTOs).
