NAME

Bio::Ontology::TermFactory - Instantiates a new Bio::Ontology::TermI (or derived class) through a factory

SYNOPSIS

     use Bio::Ontology::TermFactory;
 
 

     # the default type is Bio::Ontology::Term
     my $factory = new Bio::Ontology::TermFactory(
                         -type => 'Bio::Ontology::GOterm');
     my $term = $factory->create_object(-name => 'peroxisome',
                                        -ontology => 'Gene Ontology',
                                        -identifier => 'GO:0005777');
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This object will build Bio::Ontology::TermI objects generically.

APPENDIX

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

new

  Title   : new
  Usage   : my $obj = new Bio::Ontology::TermFactory();
  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.
 
 

See Bio::Ontology::TermI, Bio::Ontology::Term.

create_object

  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.
 
 

  Returns : Bio::Ontology::TermI compliant object
            The return type is configurable using new(-type =>"...").
  Args    : initialization parameters specific to the type of term
            object we want.  Typically 
            -name        => $name
            -identifier  => identifier for the term
            -ontology    => ontology for the term
