Access to the EMBL database via the CORBA server. The client submits its query with bio-seq-id to the Embl object, which is a factory object representing the whole database. It invokes the operation findMe provided by EmblSeq object, which in turn invokes the loader object. The EmblSeq reference is returned to the client. Once the client has the EmblSeq object reference, it can then invoke the methods provided by EmblSeq to get the sequence information defined in SeqInfo. The object attributes are obtained through invoking the methods. Further queries can be made through the invocation to other methods.
