Bio::IdCollectionI - interface for objects with multiple identifiers
# to test this is an identifiable collection object
$obj->isa("Bio::IdCollectionI") ||
$obj->throw("$obj does not implement the Bio::IdCollectionI interface");
# accessors
@authorities = $obj->id_authorities();
@ids = $obj->ids();
$id = $obj->ids($authority);
This interface describes methods expected on objects that have multiple identifiers, each of which is controlled by a different authority.
