DESCRIPTION

Object containing Nodes (GO::Model::Term objects) and relationships (:<GO::Model::Relationship> objects)

this may be either the whole ontology tree, or a subgraph, depending on how the object is instantiated.

ONTOLOGY GRAPH MODEL

relationships can be thought of as statements or sentences of the form

SUBJECT-TERM PREDICATE OBJECT-TERM

for example,

"dog" IS_A "animal"

"G-Protein coupled receptor" IS_A "transmembrane receptor"

Statements have a subject (i.e. the subject of the sentence/statement), a predicate/relationship-type and an object (i.e. the object of the sentence/statement)

Relationships can also be seen as arcs in a directed graph, with the subject being equivalent to the child, and the object equivalent to the parent. The arc is labeled with the predicate/relationship-type.

perl doesnt handle bidirectional links between objects too well, so rather than having the relationship object know about the terms or the term know about the realtionships, all the graph info is in the Graph object

the Relationship object gives you the accessions of the related terms, use the Graph methods to fetch these actual terms.

The idea is to keep the Term & Relationship objects lightweight, and keep the Graph logic in the Graph object. The Graph object is responsible for stuff like making sure that a Term object is not instantiated twice if it can be reached by two different paths.

Currently all graphs are acyclic, cyclic graphs may be allowed in the future when such relationships are added to GO/OBOA

TRANSITIVE CLOSURES

graph object will calculate transitive closures for you - that is it
will follow the path in the graph to the root or to all leafs

ITERATORS

Using the create_iterator and iterate methods, you can create "visitors" that will traverse the graph, performing actions along the way. Functional-style programming is encouraged, as the iterature() method allows for the passing of lexical closures:

$graph->iterate(sub {$term=shift->term;
                     printf "%s %s\n", $term->acc,$term->name},
                {direction=>'up',
                 acc=>"GO:0008045"})

new

Usage   - $g = GO::Model::Graph->new;

Usage   - $it = $graph->create_iterator("GO:0003677")
Usage   - $it = $graph->create_iterator({acc=>"GO:0008045",

Returns - GO::Model::GraphIterator;
Args    - accession no [optional] or GO::Model::Term [optional]

makes a GO::Model::GraphIterator, an object which traverses the graph

iterate

Returns - ref to an array of GO::Model::Term objects
Args    - hashref of constraints
          OR name constraint as string
