Check out BCSequenceReader and BCReader (deprecated, but still in the 
project for reference) for some formats, just note that these methods 
still need a lot of work, annotations and features are still not 
completely implemented. Note that there a re already various parsers 
out there that could be of help, eg lucegene, bioperl and more.

What I don't understand yet is why the sequence parser framework is at 
the bottom of your picture. This implies to me that it is the basis for 
all the other frameworks? Why not put BCFoundation with BCSymbol and 
BCSequence there, that seems much more logical to me.

Maybe you can already post some sample code here, so we can get an idea 
what you have in mind.
