Eric strewth. hmm....not sure, and on the grounds you should ask people who know if you don't know, I just emailed Rolf Apweiler, Ewan Birney and Arek Kasprzyk to see if they would hazard a guess for at least the public databases. I'll also ask our local proteomics and microarray people about their local scale-ups. on another note We use LSIDs in Taverna and one workflow - say for a gene alert and annotation protocol - will produce in the order of thousands of data objects, all with an LSID :-) And we run the workflows over and over and over again. If you labelled every microarray probe with an LSID your gonna get 50K+ in one array......
