NAME

InterProParser - Parser for InterPro xml files.

SYNOPSIS

# don't use this module directly - use Bio::OntologyIO with instead
my $ipp = Bio::OntologyIO->new( -format  => 'interpro',
                                -file    => 't/data/interpro.xml',
                                -ontology_engine => 'simple' );

DESCRIPTION

Use InterProParser to parse InterPro files in xml format. Typical
use is the interpro.xml file published by EBI. The xml records
should follow the format described in interpro.dtd, although the dtd
file is not needed, and the XML file will not be validated against
it.

APPENDIX

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

new

 Title   : new
 Usage   :
 Function: Initializes objects needed for parsing.
 Example : $ipp = Bio::OntologyIO::InterProParser->new( 
                                  -file => 't/data/interpro.xml',
				  -ontology_engine => 'simple' )

 Returns : Object of class Bio::OntologyIO::InterProParser.
 Args    :

  -file            - file name
  -ontology_engine - type of ontology engine. Should satisfy the
                     OntologyEngine interface requirements. Currently
                     the only option is 'simple'. In the future
                     Graph.pm based engine will be added to the
                     choices.

parse

Title   : parse
Usage   :
Function: Performs the actual parsing.
Example : $ipp->parse();
Returns : 
Args    :

next_ontology

Title   : next_ontology
Usage   : $ipp->next_ontology()
Function: Parses the input file and returns the next InterPro ontology
          available.

          Usually there will be only one ontology returned from an
          InterPro XML input.

Example : $ipp->next_ontology();
Returns : Returns the ontology as a L<Bio::Ontology::OntologyEngineI>
          compliant object.
Args    :

_is_parsed

Title   : _is_parsed
Usage   : $obj->_is_parsed($newval)
Function: 
Example : 
Returns : value of _is_parsed (a scalar)
Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)

secondary_accessions_map

Title   : secondary_accessions_map
Usage   : $obj->secondary_accessions_map()
Function:  This method is merely for convenience, and one should
normally use the InterProTerm secondary_ids method to access
the secondary accessions.
Example : $map = $interpro_parser->secondary_accessions_map;
Returns : Reference to a hash that maps InterPro identifier to an
 array reference of secondary accessions following the InterPro
xml schema.
Args    : Empty hash reference
