NAME

         GO::Parsers::go_ont_parser     - syntax parsing of GO .ontology flat files

SYNOPSIS

         do not use this class directly; use GO::Parser

DESCRIPTION

       This generates Stag event streams from one of the various GO flat file formats (ontology,
       defs, xref, associations). See GO::Parser for details

       Examples of these files can be found at http://www.geneontology.org

       A description of the event streams generated follows; Stag or an XML handler can be used
       to catch these events

GO ONTOLOGY FILES

       These files have the .ontology suffix. The stag-schema for the event streams generated
       look like this:

         (ontology
          (source
            (source_type "s")
            (source_path "s")
            (source_mtime "i"))
          (term+
            (id "s")
            (name "s")
            (is_root? "i")
            (relationship+
              (type "s")
              (to "s"))
            (dbxref*
              (dbname "s")
              (acc "s"))
            (synonym* "s")
            (secondaryid* "s")
            (is_obsolete? "i")))
