APPENDIX

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

compute_transitive_closure

Title   : compute_transitive_closure
Usage   :
Function: Compute the transitive closure over a given ontology
          and populate the respective path table in the relational
          schema.

Example :
Returns : TRUE on success, and FALSE otherwise
Args    : The calling adaptor.

          The ontology to compute the transitive closure over (a
          persistent Bio::Ontology::OntologyI compliant object).

          The predicate indicating identity between a term and
          itself, to be used as the predicate for the paths of
          distance zero between a term and itself. If undef the zero
          distance paths will not be created.

          A scalar that if evaluating to TRUE means truncate the
          paths for the respective ontology first (optional;
          even though the default is FALSE this parameter should
          usually be given as TRUE unless you know what you are
          doing).
