I have been watching the development of web-based tools for visualizing the availability of ENCODE data hosted at UCSC. I am interested in whether there are any methods for accessing metadata about ENCODE programmatically. I can walk through all the directories that I can find and get the files.txt files for each directory, but I'd like to have something a little less fragile. Is there a database table or a "grand" files.txt file that could be used? Alternatively, is the an API that will not require screen scraping?
