This is the place to discuss features and requirements for the Reference Genome Database being designed to replace the Google Spreadsheet system currently in use.

(here's one to get us started --chris):

Ensures consistent use of identifiers

Identifiers must unambiguously identify a single entry in a database.

Identifiers should conform to the following syntax:

 DBAuthority : LocalID

DBAuthority should be in the GO xrefs metadata list:

E.g.

 FB:FBgn0000001

Curators should not be expected to memorise identifiers, so a data entry system should allow them to enter symbols etc and have this resolved as an ID eg using some automatic lookup mechanism
