• Proposed prefixes: dms, fasta, fastq, tab, txt, bin, json, and the variants with the suffix -http (and eventually -ssh and -ftp?): dms-http, fasta-http, fastq-http etc.

• Proposed URI prototype:

[dms|fasta|fastq|tab|txt|bin|json(-http)]:[path](@[view])(@[column])(@[element_name|element_index])(#line_number)

• If no prefix given, dms is the default

• -: corresponds to stdin or stdout

• If only one DMS is specified when using an obi command, it is assumed that all views handled belong to that DMS.

• Examples of URIs:

  dms:path

  dms:/path (absolute path)

  dms:dms1@view1

  `dms1@view1@column1@element1#873` (assumes that `dms1` is a DMS, and references view1, column1, element1 and line 873)
  
  `fasta:file.fasta`
  
   `fasta:-` (stdin or stdout in Fasta format)
  
   `tab:-` (stdin or stdout in tabular format)
  
   `fasta-http:url`
