The difference between FSN and SOAP(or any of the others) is that FSN is completely open source and not associated with any team. Anyone can update and anyone can get access to the actual database rather then having to go through and copy the data out and into their database. The FSN database will have basicly a 'feed' of data to input into your database. Also FSN is much more of a collective rather then one team doing it.
I hope that all of the teams that already have a web presence in the world of FIRST scouting and the teams that have their own databases already all join into the FSN network. It will make all of the databases more powerful and more versatile.
