42 =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
43
|
|
44 This is "dumb" interface for ontology terms providing basic methods
|
|
45 (it provides no functionality related to graphs). It implements the
|
|
46 L<Bio::Ontology::TermI> interface.
|
|
47
|
|
48 This class also implements L<Bio::IdentifiableI> and
|
|
49 L<Bio::DescribableI>.

582 Function: a string which represents the stable primary identifier

597 Title : authority
|
|
598 Usage : $authority = $obj->authority()
|
|
599 Function: a string which represents the organisation which
|
|
600 granted the namespace, written as the DNS name for
|
|
601 organisation (eg, wormbase.org)
|
|
602
|
|
603 This forwards to ontology()->authority(). Note that you
|
|
604 cannot set the authority before having set the ontology or
|
|
605 the namespace (which will set the ontology).
|
|
606

624
|
|
625 Title : namespace
|
|
626 Usage : $string = $obj->namespace()
|
|
627 Function: A string representing the name space this identifier
|
|
628 is valid in, often the database name or the name
|
|
629 describing the collection.
|
|
630
|
|
631 This forwards to ontology() (set mode) and
|
|
632 ontology()->name() (get mode). I.e., setting the namespace
|
|
633 will set the ontology to one matching that name in the
|
|
634 ontology store, or to one newly created.
|
|
635
|

651 Title : display_name
|
|
652 Usage : $string = $obj->display_name()
|
|
653 Function: A string which is what should be displayed to the user.
|
|
654
|
|
655 The definition in L<Bio::DescribableI> states that the
|
|
656 string should not contain spaces. As this isn't very
|
|
657 sensible for ontology terms, we relax this here. The
|
|
658 implementation just forwards to name().
|
|
659

|

671
|
|
672 Title : description
|
|
673 Usage : $string = $obj->description()
|
|
674 Function: A text string suitable for displaying to the user a
|
|
675 description. This string is likely to have spaces, but
|
|
676 should not have any newlines or formatting - just plain
|
|
677 text.
|
|
678
|
|
679 This forwards to definition(). The caveat is that the text
|
|
680 will often be longer for ontology term definitions than the
|
|
681 255 characters stated in the definition in
|
|
682 L<Bio::DescribableI>.
|
|
