NAME

EBI::FGPT::FuzzyRecogniser

DESCRIPTION

The module EBI::FGPT::FuzzyRecogniser takes in the constructor an ontology file (OWL/OBO/OMIM/MeSH) and parses it into an internal table of ontology terms (type of EBI::FGPT::FuzzyRecogniser::OntologyTerm). The module contains the find_match method which finds the best match for the supplied term in the given ontology. This can be then queried for ->match_similarity(), ->matched_value(), ->matched_label(), and ->matched_accession(). The best match is based on the n-grams similarity metric.

SYNOPSIS

    use EBI::FGPT::FuzzyRecogniser;
	
	# instantiate and pass ontology file
	
    my $fuzzy = EBI::FGPT::FuzzyRecogniser->new( obofile => 'obo.txt' );
    
    # call find_match on a supplied term
    # finds the best match for the supplied term in the ontology.
    
    my $x = $fuzzy->find_match('submitter');
