This file format exists as an intermediate step to import from Galaxy to InterMines and is not in itself a data format intended to be used for data storage or any purpose apart from Galaxy->InterMine interoperability.
This file has two mandatory columns and one optional column
Type of identifier, e.g. Gene or Protein. Must be a class in the InterMine data model. Gene or Protein is always a safe option.
Identifier this could be, as an example, a gene symbol like GATA1 or another other identifier, e.g. FBGN0000099 or perhaps a protein accession, or some other identifier.
Organism name - e.g. H. sapiens or Drosophila melanogaster. This is optional and does not have to be precise, but is good to provide if it is known.
