Detailed Description

Interface for providing ResidueModification data to ModificationsDB.

Implementations of this interface abstract the source of modification data, enabling dependency injection. File-based providers (UnimodXMLDataProvider, OBODataProvider) handle I/O; InMemoryDataProvider supports testing.
