Bio::Ontology::OBOEngine - An Ontology Engine for OBO style flat file format from the Gene Ontology Consortium

  use Bio::Ontology::OBOEngine;
  my $parser = Bio::Ontology::OBOEngine->new
        ( -file => "gene_ontology.obo" );
  my $engine = $parser->parse();

Needs Graph.pm from CPAN.

This module replaces SimpleGOEngine.pm, which is deprecated.

 Title   : find_terms
 Usage   : ($term) = $oe->find_terms(-identifier => "SO:0000263");
 Function: Find term instances matching queries for their attributes.
           This implementation can efficiently resolve queries by
           identifier.
 Example :
 Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects
 Args    : Named parameters. The following parameters should be recognized
           by any implementations:
              -identifier    query by the given identifier
              -name          query by the given name

 Title   : find_identically_named_terms

 Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects

 Example :
 Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects
 Args    : a Bio::Ontology::TermI object

           matches the query.
 Example :

 Title   : relationship_factory

 Function: Get/set the object factory to be used when relationship
           objects are created by the implementation on-the-fly.
 Example :
 Returns : value of relationship_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
           compliant object)
 Args    : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object

 Title   : term_factory
 Usage   : $fact = $obj->term_factory()
 Function: Get/set the object factory to be used when term objects are
           created by the implementation on-the-fly.
           Note that this ontology engine implementation does not
           create term objects on the fly, and therefore setting this
           attribute is meaningless.
 Example :
 Returns : value of term_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
           compliant object)
 Args    : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object

 Title   : graph()
