=head1 NAME

RelationshipType - a relationship type for an ontology

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class can be used to model various types of relationships
(such as "IS_A", "PART_OF", "CONTAINS", "FOUND_IN").

This class extends L<Bio::Ontology::Term>, so it essentially is-a
L<Bio::Ontology::TermI>. In addition, all methods are overridden such
as to make the object immutable.

=head2 veto_change

 Title   : veto_change
 Usage   :
 Function: Called if an attribute is changed. Setting an attribute is
           considered a change if it had a value before and the attempt

           This method returns the message to be printed in the exception.

 Example :
 Returns : A string
 Args    : The name of the attribute that was attempted to change.
           Optionally, the old value and the new value for reporting
           purposes only.


=cut

sub veto_change{
    my ($self,$attr,$old,$new) = @_;

    my $changetype = $old ? ($new ? "change" : "unset") : "change";
    my $msg = "attempt to $changetype attribute $attr in ".ref($self).
    ", which is immutable";
    $msg .= " (\"$old\" to \"$new\")" if $old && $new;
    return $msg;
}
