This is a requirement of CPTAC enhancement.
The main change is to add interaction type to the network data model.
For the specification of the SIF format, see http://wiki.c2b2.columbia.edu/workbench/index.php/Cellular_Networks_KnowledgeBase#SIF_format
Interaction type information is available from the CNKB query, the source of the network.
In case of the result network from ARACNE analysis, there is no explicit interaction type information. We will show 'pd' type when it is exported in SIF format.
To make the new code compatible with existing back-end database, which does not have this field, I will make it show 'na' for the type. 'na' is not in SIF format's description, and I hope it does not conflict with any future officially accepted types. It is only for the convenience of the existing old network result.
