    7373==== Querying ====

    75 Several approaches to make the data accessible to others were discussed. For smaller datasets regular SQL can be used to get to the data (example: the Ensembl MySQL server on ensembldb.ensembl.org). If the database schema has to be tweaked to allow larger datasets (e.g. using a minimal number of tables such as eeDB) an API becomes necessary. A webservice API where a text-representation of and object can be retrieved by URL was mentioned as useful in this case (e.g. http://www.example.com/genes/BRCA2;format=bed). For even larger datasets you want to try and limit the types of queries people can run. This way you can build a toolkit to ask this limited number of questions, but optimize that toolkit so that latency is reduced.
