The NetAffx SDK provides programmatic
access into the NetAffx system allowing for retrieval of annotations from the
NetAffx web site. With the NetAffx SDK a programmer can:
- Obtain a list
of available annotations.
- Obtain the attributes, such as date, of each
available annotation.
- Selectively retrieve an annotation file of interest.
Please
note: your use of the NetAffx SDK is subject to the Affymetrix developer
Terms
and Conditions and NetAffx Analysis Center data use
Terms
and Conditions
provided therewith.
The NetAffx SDK is written as a set of COM interfaces. Languages
that support COM such as C++, VB, VC++ and ASP can access the SDK interfaces.
The
NetAffx SDK is also written as Java classes to support the Java language. The
implementation of the Java classes uses the Java Native Interface (JNI) technology
to communicate with the COM version of the SDK. With this implementation, the
use of the Java interfaces is restricted to a Windows OS environment only. For
non-Windows developers, the DTD file for the annotation listing XML file is available.
The annotation listing file defines the list of annotation files available to
download from the NetAffx web site. The DTD file is available in the download
section.
The
COM and Java programming interfaces are divided up into listing
and data
objects.
Also documented is the URL
for the annotation listing. The list of available annotation files and their associated
URLs are provided within the annotation listing.
Download the NetAffx SDK,
including the interface descriptions and sample programs from the download center.
The download center is available to licensed users only.
