nomenclature for changes from the reference sequence

hi all,

in a previous bioRDF call, lena (i think) brought up the question of how
to encode how a given sequence varies from the reference sequence.  in
'Clinical Laboratory Reports in Molecular Pathology', pgs 7 and onward
there's a nice detailed requirement for this (based on human but can
probably be extended):

http://www.archivesofpathology.org/doi/pdf/10.1043/1543-2165%282007%29131%
5B852%3ACLRIMP%5D2.0.CO%3B2

this came from the HL7 Clinical Genomics mailing list.

cheers,
michael
