Web services and exchange formats wiki

This wiki contains documents and discussions about Gen2Phen's efforts to produce exchange formats and consistent interfaces for LSDBs.

Standardising access to LSDB data is one of the core aims of Gen2Phen. Improved abilities to query, visualise and federate data can be achieved by having well-defined interfaces and consistent exchange formats. See the Use Cases wiki page for our consideration of what makes these issues important.
