NOTE: This document is likely out of date. Consult WormBase::Model.pm for the most up-to-date documentation.

The following AceDB model elements are handled generically in the reimplementation. This maximizes code reuse and makes model and template writing easier and faster.

Common elements are provided by WormBase::Model, superclass for all WormBase::Model::* classes. Should you come across any of these elements when converting a model, you can use them automatically without writing a line of code.

Usage: To use any of the common elements:

• your Model class should inherit from WormBase::Model.
• you should specify the name of the AceDB model element in lowercase in the configuration file

Name		Scalar. Name of the object as text.

Each method of each API class will return a hashref with the following generic structure:

{   description => 'a short human readable description, no more than 5000 words',
    data           => 'a string, arrayref, or hashref, as needed and described',
}
