Xanthoria Was: Second EML Workshop

[Matt Jones]

Hey Scott,

Xanthoria is a distributed query system that uses EML as its main 
transport mechanism.  It can be configured to use various relational 
models and other storage systems, and uses XPath to search EML. Details 
are at:

I don't know if it will be open source -- I think peter intends for it 
to be eventually, but I haven't seen the code on the web yet.
