=head1 NAME

Ace::Model - Get information about AceDB models

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Ace;
  my $db = Ace->connect(-path=>'/usr/local/acedb/elegans');
  my $model = $db->model('Author');
  print $model;
  $name = $model->name;
  @tags = $model->tags;
  print "Paper is a valid tag" if $model->valid_tag('Paper');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is provided for access to AceDB class models.  It provides
the model in human-readable form, and does some limited but useful
parsing on your behalf.  

Ace::Model objects are obtained either by calling an Ace database
handle's model() method to retrieve the model of a named class, or by
calling an Ace::Object's model() method to retrieve the object's
particular model.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new()

  $model = Ace::Model->new($model_data);

This is a constructor intended only for use by Ace and Ace::Object
classes.  It constructs a new Ace::Model object from the raw string
data in models.wrm.

=head2 name()

  $name = $model->name;

This returns the class name for the model.

=head2 tags()

   @tags = $model->tags;

This returns a list of all the valid tags in the model.

=head2 valid_tag()

   $boolean  = $model->valid_tag($tag);

This returns true if the given tag is part of the model.

=head2 path()
   
   @path = $model->path($tag)

Returns the path to the indicated tag, returning a list of intermediate tags.
For example, in the C elegans ?Locus model, the path for 'Compelementation_data"
will return the list ('Type','Gene').

=head2 asString()

   print $model->asString;

asString() returns the human-readable representation of the model with
comments stripped out.  Internally this method is called to
automatically convert the model into a string when appropriate.  You
need only to start performing string operations on the model object in
order to convert it into a string automatically:

   print "Paper is unique" if $model=~/Paper ?Paper UNIQUE/;
