Open Regulatory Annotation Database

I recently came across the Open Regulatory Annotation Database (ORegAnno, at not too much of a stretch). Anyway, I haven't delved very deeply into it, but it looks promising. It's a database of regulatory regions obtained from the literature.

Anybody can add new records or fix old ones (there's a validation process in place), it has a SOAP interface and the data and the software that serves up the data are all available under the LGPL. This is what a database should be...

Unfortunately it doesn't seem all that big. I guess it's a new project and time will tell if it develops into a valuable resource or gets forgotten like the hundreds of other all-conquering new databases that spring up every year (usually just before the deadline for NAR's database issue).

Good luck to them, anyway.
