\title{Class \code{"rsid"}}
\description{
rsid(), probeId(), and genesym() are basic casting
methods that assign a type to a token.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("rsid", ...)}.
}
\section{Slots}{
  \describe{
    \item{\code{.Data}:}{Object of class \code{"character"} that holds the content
to which a type is associated by the method. }
  }
}
\section{Extends}{
Class \code{"\linkS4class{character}"}, from data part.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{vector}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{data.frameRowLabels}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{SuperClassMethod}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{characterORconnection}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{characterORMIAME}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{atomicVector}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
Class \code{"\linkS4class{index}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
%Class \code{"\linkS4class{atomic}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
%Class \code{"\linkS4class{characterORNULL}"}, by class "character", distance 2.
%Class \code{"\linkS4class{vectorORfactor}"}, by class "character", distance 3.
}
\section{Methods}{
No methods defined with class "probeId" or "genesym" in the signature.
However \code{[} with a \code{\link{smlSet-class}} argument will
dispatch differently if instances of these classes are supplied.
Various GGtools reporting functions will use "rsid" for dispatch.
