Hello,
I have a few (basic) questions about setting up a local SRS site.
1) What are the main advantages for having a local copy of
databases like embl, swissprot, etc. It seems that the response
time
for searching in a remote database is still acceptable.
2) What is the best strategy for maintaining a local set of databases?
e.g., is everyone updating their databases with ftp each day.
3) Is everyone using identical configuration files (i.e. *.i and *.is)
files
for the databases.
Since I'm new to the field, i'm trying to get some idea of maintaining
local databases is worth the effort.
Regards,
Antoine van Kampen
