    String getName()

  Returns the name of this bioentry. The name is supposed to be an immutable property set by the constructor.

  Returns:
    Value of property name.

### getAccession

    String getAccession()

  Returns the accession of this bioentry. The accession is supposed to be an immutable property set by the constructor.

  Returns:
    Value of property accession.

### getIdentifier

    String getIdentifier()

  Returns the identifier of this bioentry.

  Returns:
    Value of property identifier.

### setIdentifier

    void setIdentifier(String identifier)
                       throws ChangeVetoException

  Sets the identifier of this bioentry. Null is allowable.

  Parameters:
    `identifier` - New value of property identifier.
  Throws:
    `ChangeVetoException` - in case of objections.

### getDivision

    String getDivision()

  Returns the division of this bioentry. Division relates to a division of the parent namespace.

  Returns:
    Value of property division.

### setDivision

    void setDivision(String division)
                     throws ChangeVetoException

  Sets the division of this bioentry. Null is allowable.

  Parameters:
    `division` - New value of property division.
  Throws:
    `ChangeVetoException` - in case of objections.

### getDescription

    String getDescription()

  Returns a description of this sequence.

  Returns:
    Value of property description.

### setDescription

    void setDescription(String description)
                        throws ChangeVetoException

  Sets the description for this bioentry.

  Parameters:
    `description` - New value of property description.
  Throws:
    `ChangeVetoException` - in case of objections.

### getVersion

    int getVersion()

  Gets the version of this bioentry. Bioentries with no versions return 0. The version is supposed to be immutable and set only by the constructor.

  Returns:
    Value of property version.

### getTaxon

    NCBITaxon getTaxon()

  Gets the taxon associated with this bioentry. It may be null.

  Returns:
    Value of property taxon.

### setTaxon

    void setTaxon(NCBITaxon taxon)
                  throws ChangeVetoException

  Sets the taxon for this bioentry. It may be null, in which case the taxon is unset.

  Parameters:
    `taxon` - New value of property taxon.
  Throws:
    `ChangeVetoException` - in case of objections.

### getRankedDocRefs

    Set getRankedDocRefs()

  Returns a set of all bioentrydocrefs associated with this bioentry. This set is not mutable. If no docrefs are associated, you will get back an empty set.

  Returns:
    a set of RankedDocRef objects.
  See Also:
    `RankedDocRef`

### getComments

    Set getComments()
