denormalized json export

[jhpoelen]

Hey Max,

Thanks for your suggestion!

I've implemented a preliminary rest api for accessing results similar to the denormalized json format that you suggested. Still have to add the taxon ids and taxon path, so that its easy to retrieve images and other info like common names from other apis like http://eol.org/api . I figured that a query style might be nicer than dumping > 40MB of json into a file ;) with the additional advantage of being able to query for specific interactions, taxa and locations. Let me know if you'd prefer the huge json file regardless. . .

Curious to hear your thoughts . . . and let me know if you have any ideas on how to visualize or otherwise use GloBI interaction data . . .

thx,
