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.
