   use Bio::Ontology::OBOEngine;
 
   my $parser = Bio::Ontology::OBOEngine->new
         ( -file => "gene_ontology.obo" );

  Usage   : ($term) = $oe->find_terms(-identifier => "SO:0000263");
  Function: Find term instances matching queries for their attributes.
 
            This implementation can efficiently resolve queries by
            identifier.
 
  Example :
  Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects
  Args    : Named parameters. The following parameters should be recognized
            by any implementations:
 
               -identifier    query by the given identifier
               -name          query by the given name

            name exactly
  Example :
  Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects
  Args    : a Bio::Ontology::TermI object
 
 

find_identical_terms

  Function: Find term instances where name or synonym, or part of one,
            matches the query.
  Example :
  Returns : an array of zero or more Bio::Ontology::TermI objects
  Args    : a Bio::Ontology::TermI object
 
 

relationship_factory

  Title   : relationship_factory
  Usage   : $fact = $obj->relationship_factory()
  Function: Get/set the object factory to be used when relationship
            objects are created by the implementation on-the-fly.
 
  Example :
  Returns : value of relationship_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
            compliant object)
  Args    : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object
 
 

term_factory

  Title   : term_factory
  Usage   : $fact = $obj->term_factory()
  Function: Get/set the object factory to be used when term objects are
            created by the implementation on-the-fly.
 
            Note that this ontology engine implementation does not
            create term objects on the fly, and therefore setting this
            attribute is meaningless.
 
  Example :
  Returns : value of term_factory (a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI
            compliant object)
  Args    : on set, a Bio::Factory::ObjectFactoryI compliant object

  Function: Returns the Graph this engine is based on
  Returns : Graph
  Args    :
