Bio::DB::HIV::HIVQueryHelper - Routines and packages used by Bio::DB::HIV and Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery
Used in Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery. No need to use directly.
"Bio::DB::HIV::HIVQueryHelper" contains a number of packages for use by Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery. Package "HIVSchema" parses the "lanl-schema.xml" file, and allows access to it in the context of the relational database it represents (see APPENDIX for excruciating detail). Packages "QRY", "R", and "Q" together create the query string parser that enables NCBI-like queries to be understood by "Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery". They provide objects and operators to perform and simplify logical expressions involving "AND", "OR", and "()" and return hash structures that can be handled by "Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery" routines.

HIVSchema SYNOPSIS
$schema = new HIVSchema( 'lanl-schema.xml' ); @tables = $schema->tables; @validFields = $schema->fields; @validAliases = $schema->aliases; @query_aliases_for_coreceptor = $schema->aliases( 'SEQ_SAMple.SSAM_second_receptor' ); $pk_for_SequenceEntry = $schema->primarykey('SequenceEntry'); # returns 'SequenceEntry.SE_id' $fk_for_SEQ_SAMple_to_SequenceEntry = $schema->foreignkey('SEQ_SAMple', 'SequenceEntry'); # returns 'SEQ_SAMple.SSAM_SE_id' $table = $schema->tablepart('SEQ_SAMple.SSAM_badseq'); # returns 'SEQ_SAMple' $column = $schema->columnpart('SEQ_SAMple.SSAM_badseq'); # returns 'SSAM_badseq'
HIVSchema DESCRIPTION
HIVSchema methods are used in Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery for table, column, primary/foreign key manipulations based on the observed Los Alamos HIV Sequence Database (LANL DB) naming conventions for their CGI parameters. The schema is contained in an XML file ("lanl-schema.xml") which is read into an HIVSchema object, in turn a property of the HIVQuery object. HIVSchema methods are used to build correct cgi queries in a way that attempts to preserve the context of the relational database the query parameters represent.

QRY DESCRIPTION
The QRY package provides a query parser for Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery. Currently, the parser supports AND, OR, and () operations. The structure of the LANL cgi makes it tricky to perform NOTs, though this could be implemented if the desire were great.
Two class methods do the work. "QRY::_parse_q" does a first-pass parse of the query string. "QRY::_make_q" interprets the parse tree as returned by "QRY::_parse_q" and produces an array of hash structures that can be used directly by "Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery" query execution methods. Validation of query fields and options is performed at the "Bio::DB::Query::HIVQuery" level, not here.
"QRY" objects are collections of "R" (or request) objects, which are in turn collections of "Q" (or atomic query) objects. "Q" objects represent a query on a single field, with match data options "OR"ed together, e.g. "(A B)[subtype]". "R" objects collect "Q" objects that could be processed in a single HTTP request; i.e., a set of atomic queries each having different fields "AND"ed together, such as
(A B)[subtype] AND ('CCR5')[coreceptor] AND (US CA)[country]
The "QRY" object collects "R"s that cannot be reduced (through logical operations) to a single HTTP request, e.g.
((C)[subtype] AND (SI)[phenotype]) OR ( (D)[subtype] AND (NSI)[phenotype] ),
which cannot be got in one go through the current LANL cgi implementation (as far as I can tell). The parser will simplify something like
((C)[subtype] AND (SI)[phenotype]) OR ((C)[subtype] AND (NSI)[phenotype])
to the single request
(C)[subtype] AND (NSI SI)[phenotype]
however.
The operators "&" and "|" are overloaded to "QRY::And" and "QRY::Or", to get Perl precedence and grouping for free. "bool" is overloaded to get symbolic tests such as "if ($QRY) {stuff}". "==" is overloaded with "QRY::Eq" for convenience. No overloading is done for "R" or "Q".
QRY _make_q
Title : _make_q Usage : QRY::_make_q($parsetree) Function: creates hash structures suitable for HIVQuery from parse tree returned by QRY::_parse_q Example : Returns : array of hashrefs of query specs Args : a hashref
QRY _make_q_guts
Title : _make_q_guts (Internal class method) Usage : _make_q_guts($ptree, $q_expr, $qarry, $anarry) Function: traverses the parse tree returned from QRY::_parse_q, checking syntax and creating HIVQuery-compliant query structures Example : Returns : Args : $parse_tree (hashref), $query_expression (scalar string ref), $query_array (array ref : stack for returning query structures), $annotation_array (array ref : stack for returning annotation fields)
QRY _parse_q
Title : _parse_q Usage : QRY::_parse_q($query_string) Function: perform first pass parse of a query string with some syntax checking, return a parse tree suitable for QRY::_make_q Example : QRY::_parse_q(" to[be] OR (not to)[be] "); Returns : hashref Args : query string

Class R objects contain a list of atomic queries (class Q objects). Each class R object represents a single HTTP request to the LANL DB. When converted to a DB query, the class Q objects contained by an R object are effectively "AND"ed.

Q SYNOPSIS
$q = new Q('coreceptor', 'CXCR4 CCR5'); $u = new Q('coreceptor', 'CXCR4'); $q->fld; # returns 'coreceptor' $q->dta; # returns 'CXCR4 CCR5' print $q->A; # prints '(CXCR4 CCR5)[coreceptor] Q::qeq($q, $u); # returns 0 Q::qeq( Q::qor($q, $q), $q ); # returns 1 Q::qin($u, $q) # returns 1 Q::qeq(Q::qand($u, $q), $u ); # returns 1
Q DESCRIPTION
Class Q objects represent atomic queries, that can be described by a single LANL cgi parameter=value pair. Class R objects (requests) are built from class Qs. The logical operations at the higher levels ("QRY, R") ultimately depend on the lower level operations on Qs: "qeq, qin, qand, qor".

Bio::AnnotationCollectionI SYNOPSIS (additional methods)
$seq->annotation->put_value('patient_id', 1401) $seq->annotation->get_value('patient_ids') # returns 1401 $seq->annotation->put_value('patient_group', 'MassGenH') $seq->annotation->put_value(['clinical', 'cd4count'], 503); $seq->annotation->put_value(['clinical', 'virus_load'], 150805); foreach ( qw( cd4count virus_load ) ) { $blood_readings{$_} = $seq->annonation->get_value(['clinical', $_]); }
Bio::AnnotationCollectionI DESCRIPTION (additional methods)
"get_value()" and "put_value" allow easy creation of and access to an annotation collection tree with nodes of Bio::Annotation::SimpleValue. These methods obiviate direct accession of the SimpleValue objects.
Title : get_value Usage : $ac->get_value($tagname) -or- $ac->get_value( $tag_level1, $tag_level2,... ) Function: access the annotation value associated with the given tags Example : Returns : a scalar Args : an array of tagnames that descend into the annotation tree
Title : put_value Usage : $ac->put_value($tagname, $value) -or- $ac->put_value([$tag_level1, $tag_level2, ...], $value) -or- $ac->put_value( [$tag_level1, $tag_level2, ...] ) Function: create a node in an annotation tree, and assign a scalar value to it if a value is specified Example : Returns : scalar or a Bio::AnnotationCollection object Args : $tagname, $value scalars (can be specified as -KEYS=>$tagname, -VALUE=>$value) -or- \@tagnames, $value (or as -KEYS=>\@tagnames, -VALUE=>$value ) Note : If intervening nodes do not exist, put_value creates them, replacing existing nodes. So if $ac->put_value('x', 10) was done, then later, $ac->put_value(['x', 'y'], 20), the original value of 'x' is trashed, and $ac->get_value('x') will now return the annotation collection with tagname 'y'.
Title : get_keys Usage : $ac->get_keys($tagname_level_1, $tagname_level_2,...) Function: Get an array of tagnames underneath the named tag nodes Example : # prints the values of the members of Category 1... print map { $ac->get_value($_) } $ac->get_keys('Category 1') ; Returns : array of tagnames or empty list if the arguments represent a leaf Args : [array of] tagname[s]
