=head1 NAME
SemRep::Interface -  A suite of Perl modules that utilize path information
present in the Semantic Medline Database in order to calculate the semantic
association between two concepts in the UMLS.


=head1 INSTALL
To install the module, run the following magic commands:

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install

This will install the module in the standard location. You will, most
probably, require root privileges to install in standard system
directories. To install in a non-standard directory, specify a prefix
during the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage as:

  perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/sid

It is possible to modify other parameters during installation. The
details of these can be found in the ExtUtils::MakeMaker
documentation. However, it is highly recommended not messing around
with other parameters, unless you know what you're doing.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This package provides a Perl interface to

=head1 DATABASE SETUP
The interface assumes you have installed the Semantic Medline Database onto your
MYSQL server and in addition, followed the steps present in the INSTALL file to
create the appropriate auxilary tables in order to speed up program runtime.
The name of the database can be passed through during program runtime but will
default to 'SemMedDB' if no parameter is given.

The SemMedDB database must contain the following tables:
	1. CONCEPT
	2. CONCEPT_SEMTYPE
	3. PREDICATION_ARGUMENT
	4. PREDICATION
        5. SENTENCE_PREDICATION
        6. SENTENCE
        7. CITATIONS
        8. PREDICATION_AGGREGATE
        9. DISTINCT_PREDICATION_AGGREGATE *

*The table 'DISTINCT_PREDICATION_AGGREGATE' does not install alongside the
Semantic Medline Database via the .SQL file provided on their website. Steps
must be followed in the INSTALL file to set-up this table. Failure to do so
will cause fatal errors at runtime.

A script inside the INSTALL file details the steps needed to generate
the required auxilary tables. These steps are to be done following the Semantic
Medline Database install and may take up to several days to complete due to the
size of the database.

=head1 INITIALIZING THE MODULE

To create an instance of the interface module, using default values
for all configuration options:

  use SemRep::Interface;
  my $interface = new SemRep::Interface();

=cut

package SemMed::Interface;
use strict;
use warnings;
use SemMed::Interface::GraphTraversal;
use SemMed::Interface::DataAccess;


use vars qw($VERSION);

$VERSION = '0.01';

my $connection = "";
my $gt = "";

my @includedPredicates= (); #only this predicates will be used in the traversal
my @excludedPredicates = (); #these predicates will be excluded in the traversal

#  method to create a new SemRep::Interface object
#  input : $SemMedLoginParams <- reference to hash containing SemMed login parameter
#          $AssociationLoginParams <- reference to hash containing the UMLS::Association login parameters
#  output:
sub new {

    my $self = {};
    my $class = shift;
    my $SemMedLoginParams = shift; #hash containing the SemMed login parameters
    my $AssociationLoginParams = shift; #hash containing the UMLS::Association login parameters
    bless($self, $class);

    $connection = new DataAccess($SemMedLoginParams, $AssociationLoginParams);
    $gt = new GraphTraversal($connection);

    return $self;
}

=head3 findPathLength

description:

 Utilizes a breadth first search to find the path length from a source_concept to a destination_concept

input:

 $source_concept <- string containing the concept id of the cui to start seraching from
 $destination_concept <- string containing the concept id you are searching for

output:

 length of path   <- Non-negative Integer indicating length of path between the two concepts

example:

 #finds path length between Heart and Myocardial Infarction
 use SemRep::Interface;
 my $interface = new SemRep::Interface();

 my $pathlength = $interface->findPathLength("C0018787", "C0027061");


=cut
sub findPathLength{

    my $self = shift;
    my $source_cui = shift;
    my $destination_cui = shift;
    return $gt->findPath($source_cui, $destination_cui, \@includedPredicates, \@excludedPredicates);

}

=head3 findPathSCore

description:

 Function utilizing a breadth first search along with UMLS::Association to find the aggregate association score
 along the path between source_concept and destination_concept

input:

 $source_concept <- string containing the concept id of the cui to start seraching from
 $destination_concept <- string containing the concept id you are searching for
 $measure <- string containing the UMLS::Association statistic measure to aggregate along paths.

output:

 Aggregate association score   <- Non-negative float indicating the aggregate path score

example:

 #finds aggregate association score between Heart and Myocardial Infarction
 use SemRep::Interface;
 my $interface = new SemRep::Interface();

 my $score = $interface->findPathLength("C0018787", "C0027061", "tscore");


=cut
sub findPathScore{

    my $self = shift;
    my $source_cui = shift;
    my $destination_cui = shift;
    my $measure = shift;
    return $gt->findPathScore($source_cui, $destination_cui, $measure, \@includedPredicates, \@excludedPredicates);
