=head1 NAME
Bio::DB::Biblio::biofetch - A BioFetch-based access to a bibliographic
citation retrieval
=head1 SYNOPSIS
Do not use this object directly, only access it through the
I<Bio::Biblio> module:
use Bio::Biblio;
my $biblio = new Bio::Biblio (-access => 'biofetch');
my $ref = $biblio->get_by_id('20063307'));
my $ids = ['20063307', '98276153'];
my $refio = $biblio->get_all($ids);
while ($ref = $refio->next_bibref) {
print $ref->identifier, "\n";
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class uses BioFetch protocol based service to retrieve Medline
references by their ID.

=head2 get_by_id
Title : get_by_id
Usage : $entry = $db->get__by_id('20063307')
Function: Gets a Bio::Biblio::RefI object by its name
Returns : a Bio::Biblio::Medline object
Args : the id (as a string) of the reference
=cut
sub get_by_id {
my ($self,$id) = @_;

}
=head2 get_all
Title : get_all
Usage : $seq = $db->get_all($ref);
Function: Retrieves reference objects from the server 'en masse',
rather than one at a time. For large numbers of sequences,
this is far superior than get_by_id().
Example :
Returns : a stream of Bio::Biblio::Medline objects
Args : $ref : either an array reference, a filename, or a filehandle
from which to get the list of unique ids/accession numbers.
=cut
sub get_all {
my ($self, $ids) = @_;
return $self->get_seq_stream('-uids' => $ids, '-mode' => 'single');
}
=head2 get_seq_stream
Title : get_seq_stream
Usage : my $seqio = $self->get_seq_sream(%qualifiers)
Function: builds a url and queries a web db
Returns : a Bio::SeqIO stream capable of producing sequence
Args : %qualifiers = a hash qualifiers that the implementing class
will process to make a url suitable for web querying

=head2 postprocess_data
Title : postprocess_data
Usage : $self->postprocess_data ( 'type' => 'string',
'location' => \$datastr);
Function: process downloaded data before loading into a Bio::SeqIO
Returns : void
Args : hash with two keys - 'type' can be 'string' or 'file'
- 'location' either file location or string
reference containing data
=cut
# the default method, works for genbank/genpept, other classes should
# override it with their own method.
