I haven't posted in a couple weeks!

Since the last update, our design has moved away from a remote database to one locally hosted. So each user of PyOpenWorm would have his/her own copy of the database on their machine together with a serialization of the database which can be version controlled under git. The serialization isn't too large (40MB for trix, 20MB for n-quads, 13MB for trig).

One of my long standing issues is attributing data to data sources -- labs, articles, curated data. This aspect of attribution, assigning metadata, can be done before the data model is fully specified, and has been in various places. We would only (!) need to translate into our data model after that.

For now I'm implementing the API.
