<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The service would call the request above
and return the list of unique values, sorted in alphabetic order</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Easy to say but i have no clue where
to begin. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is there an example I could start from?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I know zoo support several language,
but is Python a good choice? Should I use another language that would make
things easier?</font>
