FileDataElement
Description
This is a generic file element which format is unknown for BioUML. It can be imported or exported, but cannot be viewed in the system. Some analysis methods may interpret generic files specially. For example, Affymetrix normalization asks for file elements for input and treats them as Affymetrix CEL files.
If you are working with text files, you may consider using text element instead. You will be able to view or edit these files directly in BioUML.
