== Large SOAP Attachments ==

One problem of webservices is sending large data chunks around - something you want to minimise. SOAP attachments are not ideal. One way to avoid sending data through SOAP is through the use of a URI ([http://hackathon.dbcls.jp/search?q=lsid&wiki=on&changeset=on&ticket=on LSID]) referral - which will delay fetching data until the last moment and may be optimised, e.g. through a bittorrent download (as discussed on [wiki:BioShare Bio.share/Bio.slurp]).
