Add functionality to resolve `treat-xrefs-as-equivalent` to determine if 2 input terms are equal given an `OboOntology` #34

Closed kMutagene closed 3 months ago

kMutagene commented 4 months ago

Given that #33 is implemented, OboOntology should offer a function of signature

Oboterm -> OboTerm -> OboOntology -> bool

that checks whether two terms are equivalent by resolving the xrefs of both terms (if they exist in the given ontology) set to treat-xrefs-as-equivalent.

Example:

Consider this term in a given obo file:

treat-xrefs-as-equivalent: TEST

[Term]
id: 1
name: YES
xref: TEST:0001

the function should return true for any one of these terms.

Note that we do not have any information about name and ref fields of the xref terms here, so this should strictly work on accession numbers.

Done via #36.
