Raw content of Bio::DB::Registry # POD documentation - main docs before the code # $Id: Registry.pm,v 1.12.2.2 2003/06/26 11:07:10 heikki Exp $ =head1 NAME Bio::DB::Registry - Access to the Open Bio Database Access registry scheme =head1 SYNOPSIS use Bio::DB::Registry(); $registry = new Bio::DB::Registry(); @available_services = $registry->services; $db = $registry->get_database('embl'); # $db is a Bio::DB::SeqI implementing class $seq = $db->get_Seq_by_acc("J02231"); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides access to the Open Bio Database Access scheme, which provides a cross language and cross platform specification of how to get to databases. If the user or system administrator has not installed the default init file, seqdatabase.ini, in /etc/bioinformatics or ${HOME}/.bioinformatics then creating the first Registry object copies the default settings from the net. The Registry object will attempt to store these settings in ${HOME}/.bioinformatics/seqdatabase.ini. Users can specify one or more custom locations for the init file by setting $OBDA_SEARCH_PATH to those directories, where multiple directories should be separated by ';'. =head1 CONTACT Ewan Birney originally wrote this class. =head2 Reporting Bugs Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via email or the web: bioperl-bugs@bio.perl.org http://bugzilla.bioperl.org/ =head1 APPENDIX The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods.
