Derek's Model
As drawn on Feb 12th, during a group meeting. The arrow from BioSQL to App Engine suggests the possibility of importing our tables to the Datastore.

Temporary aims

 * We would like to use DAS to improve on current annotation tools of the MIT registry, by being able to access external sources.
 * The current MIT registry does not allow for more complex queries and filters, so we would like to improve on this by allowing for more refined searches
 * Including an option to BLAST in and out of the registry will be highly useful too. The JBE allows the user to blast inside the registry.
