     59 * LSIDs have formal spec for retrieval of both data and metadata

     68 * proposed URI format:  bm:namespace:id  
     69   * for example bm:pdb:122345 
     70 * Freebase database of data providers and their namespaces 
     71   * Freebase is editable by end-users 
     72   * could be automated v.v. lookup 
     73 * Somehow map bm:pdb:122345  to its equivalent URL 
     74 * can we convince NAR to do this, since it has a list of all databases?
