Bio::Ontology::TermFactory - Instantiates a new Bio::Ontology::TermI (or derived class) through a factory
use Bio::Ontology::TermFactory;
# the default type is Bio::Ontology::Term
my $factory = Bio::Ontology::TermFactory->new(
-type => 'Bio::Ontology::GOterm');
my $term = $factory->create_object(-name => 'peroxisome',
-ontology => 'Gene Ontology',
-identifier => 'GO:0005777');
This object will build Bio::Ontology::TermI objects generically.
User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list. Your participation is much appreciated.

Usage : my $obj = Bio::Ontology::TermFactory->new();
Function: Builds a new Bio::Ontology::TermFactory object
Returns : Bio::Ontology::TermFactory
Args : -type => string, name of a Bio::Ontology::TermI derived class.
The default is Bio::Ontology::Term.

Title : create_object
Usage : my $term = $factory->create_object(<named parameters>);
Function: Instantiates new Bio::Ontology::TermI (or one of its child classes)
This object allows us to genericize the instantiation of
Term objects.
