=head1 NAME

Bio::OntologyIO::obo - a parser for OBO flat-file format from Gene Ontology Consortium

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::OntologyIO;

  # do not use directly -- use via Bio::OntologyIO
  my $parser = Bio::OntologyIO->new
        ( -format       => "obo",
          -file        =>  "gene_ontology.obo");

  while(my $ont = $parser->next_ontology()) {
  print "read ontology ",$ont->name()," with ",
               scalar($ont->get_root_terms)," root terms, and ",
               scalar($ont->get_all_terms)," total terms, and ",
               scalar($ont->get_leaf_terms)," leaf terms\n";
  }


=head1 DESCRIPTION

Needs Graph.pm from CPAN.

=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 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

The rest of the documentation details each of the object
methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

=head2 new

 Title   : new
 Usage   : $parser = Bio::OntologyIO->new(
                             -format => "obo",
                             -file => "gene_ontology.obo");
 Function: Creates a new dagflat parser.
 Returns : A new dagflat parser object, implementing Bio::OntologyIO.
 Args    : -file      => a single ontology flat file holding the
                          terms, descriptions and relationships
           -ontology_name => the name of the ontology; if not specified the
                          parser will assign the name of the ontology as the
                          default-namespace header value from the OBO file.
           -engine     => the Bio::Ontology::OntologyEngineI object
                          to be reused (will be created otherwise); note
                          that every Bio::Ontology::OntologyI will
                          qualify as well since that one inherits from the
                          former.

See L<Bio::OntologyIO>.

}    # _initialize

=head2 ontology_name

 Title   : ontology_name
 Usage   : $obj->ontology_name($newval)
 Function: Get/set the name of the ontology parsed by this module.
 Example :
 Returns : value of ontology_name (a scalar)
 Args    : on set, new value (a scalar or undef, optional)


=cut

sub ontology_name {
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{'ontology_name'} = shift if @_;
    return $self->{'ontology_name'};
}

=head2 parse

 Title   : parse()
 Usage   : $parser->parse();
 Function: Parses the files set with "new" or with methods
           defs_file and _flat_files.

           Normally you should not need to call this method as it will
           be called automatically upon the first call to
           next_ontology().

 Returns : Bio::Ontology::OntologyEngineI
 Args    :

=head2 next_ontology

 Title   : next_ontology
 Usage   :
 Function: Get the next available ontology from the parser. This is the
           method prescribed by Bio::OntologyIO.
 Example :
 Returns : An object implementing Bio::Ontology::OntologyI, and nothing if
           there is no more ontology in the input.
 Args    :


=cut

sub next_ontology {
    my $self = shift;

    # parse if not done already
    $self->parse() unless exists( $self->{'_ontologies'} );

    # return next available ontology

=head2 close

 Title   : close
 Usage   :
 Function: Closes this ontology stream and associated file handles.

           Clients should call this method especially when they write
           ontologies.

           We need to override this here in order to close the file
           handle for the term definitions file.

 Example :
 Returns : none
 Args    : none

    $self->SUPER::close();
