NAME

	 GO::ObjFactory     - GO Object Factory

SYNOPSIS

       You should not use this method directly

DESCRIPTION

       You only need to be aware of this class if you are generating new objects. You should not directly create objects like this:

	 $term = GO::Model::Term->new($h);

       Instead you should create them like this:

	 $fac = GO::ObjFactory->new();
	 $term = $fac->create_term_obj($h);

       Usually you do not need to instantiate a factory, as all objects created with a factory carry around a reference to that factory, so you
       can do this:

	 # $graph object was previously created via a factory
	 $term = $graph->create_term_obj($h);

       If you are only using the go-perl module, then factories do not buy you much. However, if you are also using go-db-perl and GO::AppHandle,
       then factories can be useful - all objects generated from the database will be attached to an AppHandle which means that "lazy loading" can
       be used. See GO::AppHandle in go-db-perl for details
