=head1 NAME

Bio::Annotation::Collection - Default Perl implementation of AnnotationCollectionI

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   # get an AnnotationCollectionI somehow, eg

   $ac = $seq->annotation();

   foreach $key ( $ac->get_all_annotation_keys() ) {
       @values = $ac->get_Annotations($key);
       foreach $value ( @values ) {
          # value is an Bio::AnnotationI, and defines a "as_text" method
          print "Annotation ",$key," stringified value ",$value->as_text,"\n";

          # also defined hash_tree method, which allows data orientated
          # access into this object
          $hash = $value->hash_tree();
       }
   }

=head2 get_all_annotation_keys

 Title   : get_all_annotation_keys

 Returns : list of strings
 Args    : none

=head2 get_Annotations

 Title   : get_Annotations
 Usage   : my @annotations = $collection->get_Annotations('key')
 Function: Retrieves all the Bio::AnnotationI objects for one or more
           specific key(s).

           If no key is given, returns all annotation objects.

           The returned objects will have their tagname() attribute set to
           the key under which they were attached, unless the tagname was
           already set.

 Returns : list of Bio::AnnotationI - empty if no objects stored for a key
 Args    : keys (list of strings) for annotations (optional)

sub get_Annotations{
    my ($self,@keys) = @_;

    }
    return @anns;
}

=head2 get_all_Annotations

 Title   : get_all_Annotations
 Usage   :
 Function: Similar to get_Annotations, but traverses and flattens nested
           annotation collections. This means that collections in the
           tree will be replaced by their components.

           Keys will not be passed on to nested collections. I.e., if the
           tag name of a nested collection matches the key, it will be
           flattened in its entirety.

           Hence, for un-nested annotation collections this will be identical
           to get_Annotations.
 Example :
 Returns : an array of L<Bio::AnnotationI> compliant objects
 Args    : keys (list of strings) for annotations (optional)


=cut

sub get_all_Annotations{
    my ($self,@keys) = @_;

    return map {
        $_->isa("Bio::AnnotationCollectionI") ?
            $_->get_all_Annotations() : $_;
    } $self->get_Annotations(@keys);
}

=head2 get_num_of_annotations

 Title   : get_num_of_annotations
 Usage   : my $count = $collection->get_num_of_annotations()
 Function: Returns the count of all annotations stored in this collection 
 Returns : integer
 Args    : none


=cut

sub get_num_of_annotations{
   my ($self) = @_;
   my $count = 0;
   map { $count += scalar @$_ } values %{$self->{'_annotation'}};
   return $count;

=head2 add_Annotation

 Title   : add_Annotation
 Usage   : $self->add_Annotation('reference',$object);
           $self->add_Annotation($object,'Bio::MyInterface::DiseaseI');
           $self->add_Annotation($object);
           $self->add_Annotation('disease',$object,'Bio::MyInterface::DiseaseI');
 Function: Adds an annotation for a specific key.

           If the key is omitted, the object to be added must provide a value
           via its tagname().

           If the archetype is provided, this and future objects added under
           that tag have to comply with the archetype and will be rejected
           otherwise.

 Returns : none
 Args    : annotation key ('disease', 'dblink', ...)
           object to store (must be Bio::AnnotationI compliant)
           [optional] object archetype to map future storage of object 
                      of these types to

           $self->throw("Object $object was not valid with key $key. If you were adding new keys in, perhaps you want to make use of the archetype method to allow registration to a more basic type");

   }

   push(@{$self->{'_annotation'}->{$key}},$object);

   return 1;
}

=head2 remove_Annotations

 Title   : remove_Annotations
 Usage   :
 Function: Remove the annotations for the specified key from this collection.
 Example :
 Returns : an array Bio::AnnotationI compliant objects which were stored
           under the given key(s)
 Args    : the key(s) (tag name(s), one or more strings) for which to
           remove annotations (optional; if none given, flushes all
           annotations)


=cut

sub remove_Annotations{
    my ($self, @keys) = @_;

    @keys = $self->get_all_annotation_keys() unless @keys;
    my @anns = $self->get_Annotations(@keys);
    # flush
    foreach (@keys) {
        delete $self->{'_annotation'}->{$_};
    }
    return @anns;
}

=head2 flatten_Annotations

 Title   : flatten_Annotations
 Usage   :
 Function: Flattens part or all of the annotations in this collection.

           This is a convenience method for getting the flattened
           annotation for the given keys, removing the annotation for
           those keys, and adding back the flattened array.

           This should not change anything for un-nested collections.
 Example :
 Returns : an array Bio::AnnotationI compliant objects which were stored
           under the given key(s)
 Args    : list of keys (strings) the annotation for which to flatten,
           defaults to all keys if not given


=cut

sub flatten_Annotations{
    my ($self,@keys) = @_;

    my @anns = $self->get_all_Annotations(@keys);
    my @origanns = $self->remove_Annotations(@keys);
    foreach (@anns) {
        $self->add_Annotation($_);
    }
    return @origanns;
}

   This is to allow nested annotation: you can a collection as an
   annotation object to an annotation collection.

 Example :
 Returns : a string

    my $txt = "Collection consisting of ";

    my $tree = {};

        $tree->{$key} = [$self->get_Annotations($key)];
    }
    return $tree;
}

=head2 tagname

 Title   : tagname
 Usage   : $obj->tagname($newval)
 Function: Get/set the tagname for this annotation value.

           Setting this is optional. If set, it obviates the need to
           provide a tag to Bio::AnnotationCollectionI when adding
           this object. When obtaining an AnnotationI object from the
           collection, the collection will set the value to the tag
           under which it was stored unless the object has a tag
           stored already.

 Example : 
 Returns : value of tagname (a scalar)
 Args    : new value (a scalar, optional)


=cut

sub tagname{
    my $self = shift;

    return $self->{'tagname'} = shift if @_;
