Args      :   	type => String - either namespace_lsid or namespace_term 
Returns   :    a list:
		($err, $errstr)
		$err = 1 if namespace is used by a service, 0 otherwise
		$errstr = contains the error message

                Each hash represents a service
 Notes     : 	the fact that it returns a service_instance_id is bad since this

 Notes     : 	the fact that it returns a service_instance_id is bad since this

		relationship => String - a bind value for relationship_type
Returns   :	reference to array containing array-refs representing the result set:
		[[String lsid, String relationship_type], ...]
		each array-ref represents one row
Notes	   :	Only returns distinct lsids from $ontology and relationship_type from $ontology_term2term

get_all_relationships

Title     :	get_all_relationships
Usage     :	my $un = $API->get_all_relationships(%args)
Function  :	Execute a query for all relationships represented in $ontology_term2term

               $resultHash->{String relationship_type}->{Integer key_entity_id} = <VALUE>
               The structure of <VALUE> depends on relationship_type and direction:
               HAS/HASA    :
                  <VALUE> = @([Integer value_entity_id, String articleName, Integer assertion_id])
               ISA, leaves :
                  <VALUE> = @(Integer value_entity_id)
               ISA, root   :
                  <VALUE> = Integer value_entity_id
Notes     :	The hash is built 'direction-aware', that is for
               - root  : key_entity_id = ${ontology}1_id, value_entity_id = ${ontology}2_id
               - leaves: key_entity_id = ${ontology}2_id, value_entity_id = ${ontology}1_id
               The structure of the result hash is a bit complex because it is specifically
               designed for usage by MOBY::OntolgyServer::Relationships
               The result hash contains the entire table ${ontology}_term2term in order to
               reduce DB interaction in the ontology exploration

get_details_for_id_list

Title     :	get_deails_for_id_list
Usage     :	my $un = $API->get_all_relationships($ontology, $field_list, $id_list)
Function  :	Retrieve details specified in @$field_list from $ontology for ids in @$id_list
Args      :    $ontology   => String - name of the table ontology
               $field_list => Reference to array of Strings representing table fields in $ontology
               $id_list    => Reference to array of Integers representing ${ontology}_ids
Returns   :	reference to hash with the following structure:
               $resultHash->{Integer ${ontology}_id}->{String field_name} = field_value
Notes     :    This function is generic with respect to which details (fields) are retrieved, but
               is restricted to those tables whose name is identical to the ontology name (i.e.
               currently 'object', 'service', 'namespace' and 'relationship')
               Makes use of the 'select ... from ... where ... in (<LIST>)' statement syntax
               in order to reduce the number of DB interactions
               Used in MOBY::OntologyServer::Relationships, but maybe useful for other purposes...
