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::BioEntry();
Function: Builds a new Bio::BioEntry object 
Returns : an instance of Bio::BioEntry
Args    :

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

          This is aliased to accession_number().
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

Methods for Bio::DescribableI compliance

display_name

Title   : display_name
Usage   : $string    = $obj->display_name()
Function: A string which is what should be displayed to the user
          the string should have no spaces (ideally, though a cautious
          user of this interface would not assumme this) and should be
          less than thirty characters (though again, double checking 
          this is a good idea)

          This is aliased to display_id().
Returns : A scalar

description

Title   : description
Usage   : $string    = $obj->description()
Function: A text string suitable for displaying to the user a 
          description. This string is likely to have spaces, but
          should not have any newlines or formatting - just plain
          text. The string should not be greater than 255 characters
          and clients can feel justified at truncating strings at 255
          characters for the purposes of display

          This is aliased to desc().
Returns : A scalar
