InterMine::Model - the representation of an InterMine model

SYNOPSIS

use InterMine::Model;
use InterMine::ItemFactory;

my $model_file = 'flymine/dbmodel/build/model/genomic_model.xml';
my $model = new InterMine::Model(file => $model_file);
my $factory = new InterMine::ItemFactory(model => $model);

...

DESCRIPTION

The class is the Perl representation of an InterMine data model. The new() method can parse the model file. The get_classdescriptor_by_name() method will return an InterMine::Model::ClassDescriptor object for the class with the given name.
