NAME

Bio::MAGETAB::Data - Abstract data class

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::MAGETAB::Data;

DESCRIPTION

This class is an abstract class from which all MAGE-TAB Data classes (DataFile, DataMatrix) are derived. It cannot be instantiated directly. See the Node class for superclass methods.

ATTRIBUTES

uri (required)

The URI where the data can be found (data type: Uri).

dataType (required)

The type of the data (typically raw or derived; data type: Bio::MAGETAB::ControlledTerm).

METHODS

Each attribute has accessor (get_*) and mutator (set_*) methods, and also predicate (has_*) and clearer (clear_*) methods where the attribute is optional. Where an attribute represents a one-to-many relationship the mutator accepts an arrayref and the accessor returns an array.
