OrganismDbi: A meta framework for Annotation Packages

OrganismDbi is a software package that helps tie together different annotation resources. It is expected that users may have previously made seen packages like org.Hs.eg.db and TxDb.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19.knownGene. Packages like these two are very different and contain very different kinds of information, but are still about the same organism: Homo sapiens. The OrganismDbi package allows us to combine resources like these together into a single package resource, which can represent ALL of these resources at the same time. An example of this is the homo.sapiens package, which combines access to the two resources above along with others. This is made possible because the packages that are represented by homo.sapiens are related to each other via foreign keys.
