Hierarchy manager (indra.preassembler.hierarchy_manager)

class indra.preassembler.hierarchy_manager.HierarchyManager(rdf_file=None, build_closure=None, uri_as_name=True)[source]

Store hierarchical relationships between different types of entities.

Used to store, e.g., entity hierarchies (proteins and protein families) and modification hierarchies (serine phosphorylation vs. phosphorylation).

Parameters:
  • rdf_file (string) – Path to the RDF file containing the hierarchy.
  • build_closure (bool or list or None) – If True, the transitive closure of the hierarchy is generated up front to speed up processing. If a list, the entries in the list are namespaces for which a transitive closure should be built. Namespaces not listed are ignored and isa/partof lookups will not use the transitive closure. If False, no transitive closure is built. Default: True
  • uri_as_name (Optional[bool]) – If True, entries are accessed directly by their URIs. If False entries are accessed by finding their name through the hasName relationship. Default: True
graph

The RDF graph containing the hierarchy.

Type:instance of rdflib.Graph
build_transitive_closure(rel, tc_set)[source]

Build a transitive closure for a given relation in a given dict.

build_transitive_closures()[source]

Build the transitive closures of the hierarchy.

This method constructs dictionaries which contain terms in the hierarchy as keys and either all the “isa+” or “partof+” related terms as values.

Return True if two entities have the speicified relationship.

This relation is constructed possibly through multiple links connecting the two entities directly or indirectly.

Parameters:
  • ns1 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id1 (str) – URI for an entity.
  • ns2 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id2 (str) – URI for an entity.
  • closure_set (set) – A set containing tuples of entities that have the specified relationship, directly or indirectly. Empty if this has not been precomputed.
  • relation_func (function) – Function with arguments (node, graph) that generates objects with some relationship with node on the given graph.
Returns:

True if t1 has the specified relationship with t2, either directly or through a series of intermediates; False otherwise.
Return type:

bool
extend_with(rdf_file)[source]

Extend the RDF graph of this HierarchyManager with another RDF file.

Parameters:rdf_file (str) – An RDF file which is parsed such that the current graph and the graph described by the file are merged.
find_entity[source]

Return the entity that has the specified name (or synonym).

Parameters:x (str) – Name or synonym for the target entity.
Returns:The URI or value corresponding to the entry, represented as a string.
Return type:str
get_children(uri)[source]

Return all (not just immediate) children of a given entry.

Parameters:uri (str) – The URI of the entry whose children are to be returned. See the get_uri method to construct this URI from a name space and id.
get_parents(uri, type='all')[source]

Return parents of a given entry.

Parameters:
  • uri (str) – The URI of the entry whose parents are to be returned. See the get_uri method to construct this URI from a name space and id.
  • type (str) – ‘all’: return all parents irrespective of level; ‘immediate’: return only the immediate parents; ‘top’: return only the highest level parents
is_equal(ns1, id1, ns2, id2)[source]

  • ns2 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id2 (str) – URI for an entity.
Returns:

True if t1 has an “is_equal” relationship with t2.
Return type:

bool
is_opposite(ns1, id1, ns2, id2)[source]

Return True if two entities are in an “is_opposite” relationship

Parameters:
  • ns1 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.

Returns:

True if t1 has an “is_opposite” relationship with t2.

Parameters:
  • ns1 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id1 (string) – URI for an entity.
  • ns2 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id2 (str) – URI for an entity.
Returns:

True if t1 has an “isa” relationship with t2, either directly or through a series of intermediates; False otherwise.
Return type:

bool
isa_or_partof(ns1, id1, ns2, id2)[source]

Return True if two entities are in an “isa” or “partof” relationship

Parameters:
  • ns1 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id1 (str) – URI for an entity.
  • ns2 (str) – Namespace code for an entity.
  • id2 (str) – URI for an entity.
Returns:

True if t1 has a “isa” or “partof” relationship with t2, either directly or through a series of intermediates; False otherwise.
Return type:

bool

Parameters:rdf_str (str) – An RDF string.
partof(ns1, id1, ns2, id2)[source]
