Sequence Retrieval System (SRS)

SRSWWW is a World Wide Web interface to the Sequence Retrieval System (SRS). It supports HTML3 and lesser versions of HTML. A user ID is created to keep the state for the whole session. A SRS session is started by clicking on the 'Start' button in the SRS home page.

The six header buttons which contain links to other SRSWWW pages.
'Top Page'	Links to the start page of the SRSWWW. Click Continue, to preceed to 'Query Form' page. Used to select the one or more databases to be searched. Come back here for a change in databases. The database names are linked to an information page. The data fields of the database can be browsed directly.
'Query Form'	The selected databases is/are listed at the top of the page. 'Query' column. By using the operators "&" (= AND), "!" (= NOT), "|" (= OR) one can use more than one search expression in every 'Query' input field. A wildcard is optional. 'Include fields in output'. Click 'Do Query' to start the query. The 'Query Result' page comes up. Shows query string, number of "hits" and found entries with check boxes and included fields. Clicking on the entry opens the 'Single Entry' page (Complete entry in the databank). Further options from here: 'Link' - used to find the links between the found entries (the set) and the selected databanks, which are different from the databanks selected for the query search.
'Query Manager'	To store the queries done so far (includes 'Save', 'Delete', 'View' and 'Link' function). To make further queries and links (includes 'Combine searches with the logical operators AND, OR or NOT).
'View Manager'	To define how to look at the query results by using predefined 'Views' or creating your own 'Views' (for more information on 'Creating a View', see Help).
'Databanks'	Information about the database release version number, the number of entries, the indexing date, the group and an availability flag.
'Help'	Most of the information about the databanses and their fields description are available through hypertext links.
