 * Controlled Vocabulary API
 *
 * @defgroup tripal_cv_api CV Module API
 * @ingroup tripal_api
 * This module provides a set of functions to simplify working with
 * controlled vocabularies.  Most of the API functions deal with retrieving
 * terms or their parent vocabularies.
 *
 * However, the API also supports
 * generation of trees for browsing a vocabulary as well as generation of
 * pie graphs for display of hierarchical counts of terms.  Version 0.3b of
 * Tripal provides a feature browser and a feature summary chart uses
 * the API functions provided here.  But in general charts and trees can be
 * created for any controlled vocabulary.
 *

 * The controlled vocabulary is selected using tripal_core_chado select and as such the
