NAME InterMine::Model - the representation of an InterMine model SYNOPSIS use InterMine::Model; my $model_file = 'flymine/dbmodel/build/model/genomic_model.xml'; my $model = InterMine::Model->new(file => $model_file); my $gene = $model->make_new( Gene => { primaryIdentifier => "FBgn0004053", secondaryIdentifier => "CG1046", symbol => "zen", name => "zerknullt", length => "3474", organism => { shortName => "D. melanogaster", } ncbiGeneNumber => 40828, }); $gene->getName(); # "zerknullt" ... DESCRIPTION The class is the Perl representation of an InterMine data model. The new() method can parse the model file. The get_classdescriptor_by_name() method will return an InterMine::Model::ClassDescriptor object for the class with the given name. For an example model see: http://trac.flymine.org/browser/trunk/intermine/objectstore/model/testmo del/testmodel_model.xml AUTHOR FlyMine "" BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to "support@flymine.org".
