- The language in which the tool was written.

- If you are using your own DB schema, are there tools available for loading and querying it that you would be interested in sharing?
- Frequency of data update
Thank you in advance for writing with information; your contribution is very much appreciated.
We ask that anyone whose GO tool is shown on our tools page will subscribe to the GO friends mailing list. Your joining this list ensures that we can always get in touch with you when any major changes are made to the GO, and will allow you to keep your tools up to date. This list has very low traffic, so you will not be bombarded with messages. You may also wish to join the GO software group mailing list, which is a forum for the discussion of development of new GO tools, but this is not obligatory. Both of these lists are moderated to exclude spamming.
