Term

java.lang.Object
- org.sbml.jsbml.ontology.Term

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<Term>
```
public class Term
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable, java.lang.Comparable<Term>, java.io.Serializable
```
This is a convenient wrapper class for the corresponding implementation of org.biojava.nbio.ontology.Term in BioJava as it provides specialized methods to obtain the information from the SBO OBO file directly and under the same name as the keys are given in that file.
