Bio::Annotation::OntolUsereContributed Perl DoBio::Annotation::OntologyTerm(3)

NAME
       Bio::Annotation::OntologyTerm - An ontology term adapted to AnnotationI

SYNOPSIS
	  use Bio::Annotation::OntologyTerm;
	  use Bio::Annotation::Collection;
	  use Bio::Ontology::Term;

	  my $coll = Bio::Annotation::Collection->new();

	  # this also implements a tag/value pair, where tag _and_ value are treated
	  # as ontology terms
	  my $annterm = Bio::Annotation::OntologyTerm->new(-label => 'ABC1',
							  -tagname => 'Gene Name');
	  # ontology terms can be added directly - they implicitly have a tag
	  $coll->add_Annotation($annterm);

	  # implementation is by composition - you can get/set the term object
	  # e.g.
	  my $term = $annterm->term(); # term is-a Bio::Ontology::TermI
	  print "ontology term ",$term->name()," (ID ",$term->identifier(),
		"), ontology ",$term->ontology()->name(),"\n";
	  $term = Bio::Ontology::Term->new(-name => 'ABC2',
					   -ontology => 'Gene Name');
	  $annterm->term($term);

DESCRIPTION
       Ontology term annotation object

FEEDBACK
   Mailing Lists
       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
       Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
       of the Bioperl mailing lists. Your participation is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and
       reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly address
       it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and
       data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
       the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the

APPENDIX
       The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
       Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

   new
	Title	: new
	Usage	: my $sv = Bio::Annotation::OntologyTerm->new();
	Function: Instantiate a new OntologyTerm object
	Returns : Bio::Annotation::OntologyTerm object
	Args	: -term => $term to initialize the term data field [optional]
		  Most named arguments that Bio::Ontology::Term accepts will work
		  here too. -label is a synonym for -name, -tagname is a synonym for
		  -ontology.

AnnotationI implementing functions
   as_text
	Title	: as_text
	Usage	: my $text = $obj->as_text
	Function: Returns a textual representation of the annotation that
		  this object holds. Presently, it is tag name, name of the
		  term, and the is_obsolete attribute concatenated togather
		  with a delimiter (|).

	Returns : string
	Args	: none

   display_text
	Title	: display_text
	Usage	: my $str = $ann->display_text();
	Function: returns a string. Unlike as_text(), this method returns a string
		  formatted as would be expected for te specific implementation.

		  One can pass a callback as an argument which allows custom text
		  generation; the callback is passed the current instance and any text
		  returned
	Example :
	Returns : a string
	Args	: [optional] callback

   hash_tree
	Title	: hash_tree
	Usage	: my $hashtree = $value->hash_tree
	Function: For supporting the AnnotationI interface just returns the value
		  as a hashref with the key 'value' pointing to the value
	Returns : hashrf
	Args	: none

   tagname
	Title	: tagname
	Usage	: $obj->tagname($newval)
	Function: Get/set the tagname for this annotation value.

		  Setting this is optional. If set, it obviates the need to provide
		  a tag to AnnotationCollection when adding this object.

		  This is aliased to ontology() here.
	Example :
	Returns : value of tagname (a scalar)
	Args	: new value (a scalar, optional)

Methods for Bio::Ontology::TermI compliance
   term
	Title	: term
	Usage	: $obj->term($newval)
	Function: Get/set the Bio::Ontology::TermI implementing object.

		  We implement TermI by composition, and this method sets/gets the
		  object we delegate to.
	Example :
	Returns : value of term (a Bio::Ontology::TermI compliant object)
	Args	: new value (a Bio::Ontology::TermI compliant object, optional)

   identifier
	Title	: identifier
	Usage	: $term->identifier( "0003947" );
		  or
		  print $term->identifier();
	Function: Set/get for the identifier of this Term.
	Returns : The identifier [scalar].
	Args	: The identifier [scalar] (optional).

   name
	Title	: name
	Usage	: $term->name( "N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase" );
		  or
		  print $term->name();
	Function: Set/get for the name of this Term.
	Returns : The name [scalar].
	Args	: The name [scalar] (optional).

   definition
	Title	: definition
	Usage	: $term->definition( "Catalysis of ..." );
		  or
		  print $term->definition();
	Function: Set/get for the definition of this Term.
	Returns : The definition [scalar].
	Args	: The definition [scalar] (optional).

   ontology
	Title	: ontology
	Usage	: $term->ontology( $top );
		  or
		  $top = $term->ontology();
	Function: Set/get for a relationship between this Term and
		  another Term (e.g. the top level of the ontology).
	Returns : The ontology of this Term [TermI].
	Args	: The ontology of this Term [TermI or scalar -- which
		  becomes the name of the catagory term] (optional).

   is_obsolete
	Title	: is_obsolete
	Usage	: $term->is_obsolete( 1 );
		  or
		  if ( $term->is_obsolete() )
	Function: Set/get for the obsoleteness of this Term.
	Returns : the obsoleteness [0 or 1].
	Args	: the obsoleteness [0 or 1] (optional).

   comment
