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::DB::Persistent::BioNamespace();
Function: Builds a new Bio::DB::Persistent::BioNamespace object 
Returns : an instance of Bio::DB::Persistent::BioNamespace
Args    :

obj

Title   : obj
Usage   : $obj->obj()
Function: Get the object that is made persistent through this adaptor.

          Note that this implementation does not allow setting the object.
Example : 
Returns : The object made persistent through this adaptor
Args    : None (set not supported)

identifiable

Title   : identifiable
Usage   : $obj->identifiable($newval)
Function: Get/set the Bio::IdentifiableI compliant object from which to obtain
          namespace and authority, and to which to forward all IdentifiableI
          calls.
Example : 
Returns : a Bio::IdentifiableI compliant object
Args    : Optionally on set, a Bio::IdentifiableI compliant object

Methods for Bio::IdentifiableI compliance

object_id

Title   : object_id
Usage   : $string    = $obj->object_id()
Function: a string which represents the stable primary identifier
          in this namespace of this object. For DNA sequences this
          is its accession_number, similarly for protein sequences

Returns : A scalar

version

Title   : version
Usage   : $version    = $obj->version()
Function: a number which differentiates between versions of
          the same object. Higher numbers are considered to be
          later and more relevant, but a single object described
          the same identifier should represent the same concept

Returns : A number

authority

Title   : authority
Usage   : $authority    = $obj->authority()
Function: a string which represents the organisation which
          granted the namespace, written as the DNS name for  
          organisation (eg, wormbase.org)

Returns : A scalar

namespace

Title   : namespace
Usage   : $string    = $obj->namespace()
Function: A string representing the name space this identifier
          is valid in, often the database name or the name
          describing the collection 

Returns : A scalar
