(rel.type), object (or parent) term id, ontology
or
b) subject Bio::Ontology::TermI, predicate
Bio::Ontology::TermI (rel.type), object
Bio::Ontology::TermI, ontology

Title : get_all_terms Usage : $engine->get_all_terms(); Function: Returns all terms in this engine Returns : Bio::Ontology::TermI Args : |
Title : find_terms Usage : ($term) = $oe->find_terms(-identifier => "SO:0000263"); Function: Find term instances matching queries for their attributes.
This implementation can efficiently resolve queries by
identifier.
Example :
Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects
Args : Named parameters. The following parameters should be recognized
by any implementations:
-identifier query by the given identifier
-name query by the given name |
Title : find_identically_named_terms Usage : ($term) = $oe->find_identically_named_terms($term0); Function: Find term instances where names match the query term name exactly Example : Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects Args : a Bio::Ontology::TermI object |
Title : find_identical_terms Usage : ($term) = $oe->find_identical_terms($term0); Function: Find term instances where name or synonym matches the query exactly Example : Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects Args : a Bio::Ontology::TermI object |
Title : find_similar_terms Usage : ($term) = $oe->find_similar_terms($term0); Function: Find term instances where name or synonym, or part of one, matches the query. Example : Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects Args : a Bio::Ontology::TermI object |
Title : relationship_factory Usage : $fact = $obj->relationship_factory() Function: Get/set the object factory to be used when relationship objects are created by the implementation on-the-fly.
Example :
Returns : value of relationship_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
compliant object)
Args : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object |
Title : term_factory Usage : $fact = $obj->term_factory() Function: Get/set the object factory to be used when term objects are created by the implementation on-the-fly.
Note that this ontology engine implementation does not
create term objects on the fly, and therefore setting this
attribute is meaningless.
Example :
Returns : value of term_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
compliant object)
Args : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object |
Title : graph() Usage : $engine->graph(); Function: Returns the Graph this engine is based on Returns : Graph Args : |
