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