| 53 | * scope of database: data integration of carbohydrate structures and their taxonomical annotations from all freely available carbohydrate structure databases (currently 8 databases) |
| 54 | * existing web-services: REST interfaces |
| 55 | * plans for API: enhancement of data retrieval functions (substructure search, composition search, search by mass, search by species) |
| 56 | * open questions: |
| 57 | * what other functionalities would be useful ? |
| 58 | * how to make an standardized API to become compatible to other webservices (BioMoby) ? |
| 59 | * how to close the gap between protein and glycan databases ? |
