\title{Get GO terms for a specified ontology}
\description{
Find the subset of GO terms for the specified ontology, for each element 
of the supplied list of associations. The input list is typically from
one of the chip-specific meta-data files.
}
\usage{
getOntology(inlist, ontology=c("MF", "BP", "CC"))
}
\arguments{
  \item{inlist}{A list of GO associations}
  \item{ontology}{The name of the ontology you want returned.}
}
\details{
  The input list should be a list of lists, each element of \code{inlist}
  is itself a list containing the information that maps from a specified 
  ID (usually LocusLink) to GO information. Each element of the inner list 
  is a list with elements \code{GOID}, \code{Ontology} and \code{Evidence}. 
}
\value{
   A list of the same length as the input list. Each element of this
   list will contain a vector of \code{GOID}s for those terms that match
   the requested ontology.
