Semantic Description of obitax Taxonomic Functions
The obitax package provides two core methods for hierarchical taxon relationship analysis:
-
IsSubCladeOf(parent *Taxon) bool
Determines whether the current taxon is a descendant (i.e., subclade) of a given parent taxon.- Ensures both taxa belong to the same taxonomy—fails with a fatal log if not.
- Traverses upward via
taxon.IPath()(iterative ancestor path) to check if any node matches the parent’s ID. - Returns
trueiff a match is found, indicating lineage descent.
-
IsBelongingSubclades(clades *TaxonSet) bool
Checks whether the current taxon—or any of its ancestors—belongs to a specified set of clades (TaxonSet).- Starts by testing direct membership via
clades.Contains(taxon.Node.id). - Walks upward through the hierarchy (
taxon = taxon.Parent()) until either:- A match is found, or
- The root is reached.
- Final check at the root ensures completeness (e.g., if only root belongs).
- Starts by testing direct membership via
Both functions support robust phylogenetic queries, enabling classification validation, filtering by clade membership, and hierarchical consistency checks in taxonomic trees.
