These classes and methods facilitate navigation of the NetAffx resource data base. They are R representations of the Affymetrix classes defined in NetAffxAnnotFileList.dtd. The 'show' methods for these classs indicate how objects are to be accessed; details are in the ‘Annotations with NetAffx’ vignette.

The auto-generated classes are discoverable as indicated in the example below.

Objects are created internally, by parsing XML retrieved from the local NetAffx data base or from the Affymetrix web site.

Objects have a variety of slots. To discover slot names and content type, see the slotNames portion of the example, below.

Class "NetAffxCompatibility", directly. Class "AffyCompatible", by class "NetAffxCompatibility", distance 2.

'Read' methods are defined on auto-generated classes to access slot content.

Accessors are apparent from displaying the object; each line of the display is of the form accessor: content. To retrieve the content of an instance object, invoke accessor(object).

Some objects contains several instances of another object. These 'typed associations' are represented by the .TypedAssociation class, and are navigated or subset as one would a standard R vector, e.g., using [, [[. A useful paradigm for displaying all instances is illustrated on the NetAffxResource page.
