ACCNUM), the second a short description of the name that will be used for the description of the element in an XML file to be created, the third a long description of the name that will be used for the man page of the data environment for the element of the data package to be built, the fourth a short hand name of the source (e. g. ll for LocusLink), and the fifth a boolean that is TRUE if the annotation element is for a probe or FALSE otherwise.
