ASSOCIATIONS

Associations are references to other class objects which can be shared by multiple class instances at the same time. In the Perl implementation of MAGE-OM classes, associations are implemented using three separate methods:

get*

Retrieves the current value. If the association has list cardinality, an array reference is returned.

set*

Sets the current value replacing any existing value. If the association has list cardinality, the argument must be an array reference. Unless you know what you are doing, you probably should be using the add* methods.

add*

This method exists only for associations with list cardinality. It appends a list of objects to any values that may already be stored in the association.

Bio::MAGE::BQS::BibliographicReference: has the following association accessor methods:
