The EBI maintains a "databank of databanks" for SRS 5.1
linked to the list of worldwide servers.
http://srs.ebi.ac.uk/srs5list.html
This does have the information you need, though the descriptions
are quite long (the full .it file)
For the Sanger Centre server, I have generated a full alphabetical
order list at:
http://www.sanger.ac.uk/srs5/databases.shtml
Please let me know if you find it useful. The descriptions are just a
first quick attempt to classify everything and could no doubt be
improved.
