Whiteboard
Have two options to get object information. One is the ATID database on a database server. The second is to use the SIMBAD server lookups. If the SIMBAD server lookups are being used, then the ATID connectToDatabase() will not do any connections and any queries through the database will be done through calls to SIMBAD, or through internal hard coded return values.
