=head1 NAME

Bio::Ontology::GOterm - representation of GO terms 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  $term = Bio::Ontology::GOterm->new
    ( -go_id       => "GO:0016847",
      -name        => "1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase",
      -definition  => "Catalysis of ...",
      -is_obsolete => 0,
      -comment     => "" );

  $term->add_definition_references( @refs );
  $term->add_secondary_GO_ids( @ids );
  $term->add_aliases( @aliases );

  foreach my $dr ( $term->each_definition_reference() ) {
      print $dr, "\n";
  }

  # etc.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is "dumb" class for GO terms (it provides no functionality 
related to graphs). Implements Bio::Ontology::TermI.

=head1 FEEDBACK

=head2 Mailing Lists

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other
Bioperl modules. Send your comments and suggestions preferably to one
of the Bioperl mailing lists.  Your participation is much appreciated.

  bioperl-l@bioperl.org                  - General discussion
  http://bioperl.org/wiki/Mailing_lists  - About the mailing lists

=head2 Support 

Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

I<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>

rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and 
reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem 
with code and data examples if at all possible.

=head2 Reporting Bugs

Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track
the bugs and their resolution.  Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

 Args    : -go_id         => the goid of this GO term [GO:nnnnnnn] 
                             or [nnnnnnn] (nnnnnnn is a zero-padded

           format checking.

 Returns : The goid [GO:nnnnnnn].
 Args    : The goid [GO:nnnnnnn] or [nnnnnnn] (nnnnnnn is a

 Usage   : @ids = $term->get_secondary_GO_ids();
 Function: Returns a list of secondary goids of this Term.
