 bioperl

dxs is the Distributed Xml System.  It borrows some concepts from Lincoln Stein's  DAS  , including the name.  It is way of using http to distribute xml documents over the web.  The goal is a simple system of inter-server communication, where servers can query each other to see which dxs "services" each has available.  It is aimed at the bioinformatics community, although there is nothing about it that is inherently bio-specific.

Right now you can look at the  dxs overview  , and also the  dxs dtd  .  

In the future, I will try to supply the components to role your own dxs server.  The first database server will probably use python and PostGRES.  The first apps will use bioperl.
