=head1 NAME

Bio::OntologyIO - Parser factory for Ontology formats 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Bio::OntologyIO;

    my $parser = Bio::OntologyIO->new(-format => "go", ...);

    while(my $ont = $parser->next_ontology()) {
         print "read ontology ",$ont->name()," with ",
               scalar($ont->get_root_terms)," root terms, and ",
               scalar($ont->get_leaf_terms)," leaf terms\n";
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the parser factory for different ontology sources and
formats. Conceptually, it is very similar to L<Bio::SeqIO>, but the
difference is that the chunk of data returned as an object is an
entire ontology.

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : my $parser = Bio::OntologyIO->new(-format => 'go', @args);
 Function: Returns a stream of ontologies opened on the specified input
           for the specified format.
 Returns : An ontology parser (an instance of Bio::OntologyIO) initialized
           for the specified format.
 Args    : Named parameters. Common parameters are

              -format    - the format of the input; supported right now are
                          'go' (synonymous with goflat), 'so' (synonymous
                          with soflat), and 'interpro'
              -file      - the file holding the data
              -fh        - the stream providing the data (-file and -fh are
                          mutually exclusive)
              -ontology_name - the name of the ontology
              -engine    - the L<Bio::Ontology::OntologyEngineI> object
                          to be reused (will be created otherwise); note
                          that every L<Bio::Ontology::OntologyI> will
                          qualify as well since that one inherits from the
                          former.
              -term_factory - the ontology term factory to use. Provide a
                          value only if you know what you are doing.

           DAG-Edit flat file parsers will usually also accept the
           following parameters.

              -defs_file - the name of the file holding the term
                          definitions
              -files     - an array ref holding the file names (for GO,
                          there will usually be 3 files: component.ontology,
                          function.ontology, process.ontology)

           Other parameters are specific to the parsers.

}

=head2 next_ontology

 Title   : next_ontology
 Usage   : $ont = $stream->next_ontology()
 Function: Reads the next ontology object from the stream and returns it.
 Returns : a L<Bio::Ontology::OntologyI> compliant object, or undef at the
           end of the stream
 Args    : none


=cut

sub next_ontology {
    shift->throw_not_implemented();
}

=head2 term_factory

 Title   : term_factory
 Usage   : $obj->term_factory($newval)
 Function: Get/set the ontology term factory to use.

           As a user of this module it is not necessary to call this
           method as there will be default. In order to change the
           default, the easiest way is to instantiate
           L<Bio::Ontology::TermFactory> with the proper -type
           argument. Most if not all parsers will actually use this
           very implementation, so even easier than the aforementioned
           way is to simply call
           $ontio->term_factory->type("Bio::Ontology::MyTerm").

 Example : 
 Returns : value of term_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI object)
 Args    : on set, new value (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI object, optional)


=cut

sub term_factory{
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{'term_factory'} = shift if @_;
    return $self->{'term_factory'};
}

=head1 Private Methods

  Some of these are actually 'protected' in OO speak, which means you
  may or will want to utilize them in a derived ontology parser, but
  you should not call them from outside.

=cut

=head2 _load_format_module

 Title   : _load_format_module
 Usage   : *INTERNAL OntologyIO stuff*
 Function: Loads up (like use) a module at run time on demand
 Example :
 Returns :
 Args    :

=cut

sub _load_format_module {
    my ($self, $format) = @_;
    my $module = "Bio::OntologyIO::" . $format;
    my $ok;

    eval {
	$ok = $self->_load_module($module);
    };
    if ( $@ ) {
	print STDERR <<END;
$self: $format cannot be found
Exception $@
For more information about the OntologyIO system please see the docs.
This includes ways of checking for formats at compile time, not run time
END
    }
    return $ok;
}

sub DESTROY {
    my $self = shift;

    $self->close();
}

sub _map_format {
    my $self = shift;
    my $format = shift;
    my $mod;

    if($format) {
	$mod = $format_driver_map{lc($format)};
	$mod = lc($format) unless $mod;
    } else {
	$self->throw("unable to guess ontology format, specify -format");
    }
    return $mod;
}
