 It is assumed that all the data files are of the same data type and format -- the import will fail otherwise. It is also assumed that a suitable import configuration for the data exists already. 
 
+In the case of non-Affy data, the raw data will be added to the RawBioAssay objects by physically importing it into the database. For Affy data, the cel file will be attached to the RawBioAssay objects but no actual data is imported into the database -- the raw data stays in the cel files. Affy data imports also assume that a new ArrayDesign needs to be created and this is done with the cdf file which needs to be included in the zip file with the data files. The Arraydesign object is then set on each RawBioAssay created.
