#' @details
#' The GMQL dataset is made up by two different file types:
#'
#' \itemize{
#' \item{metadata files: they contain metadata associated with corrisponding 
#' sample.}
#' \item{region files: they contain genomic regions data.}
#' \item{region schema file: XML file that contains region attribute names 
#' (e.g. chr, start, end, pvalue)}
#' }
#' Sample region files and metadata files are associated through file name:
#' for example S_0001.gdm for region file and S_0001.gdm.meta for 
#' its metadata file
#'
#'
#' @examples
#' 
#' ## Load and attach add-on GenomicRanges package
#' library(GenomicRanges)
#' 
#' ## These statemens create two GRanges with the region attributes: seqnames, 
#' ## ranges (region coordinates) and strand, plus two column elements:  
#' ## score and GC
#' 
#' gr1 <- GRanges(seqnames = "chr2", ranges = IRanges(3, 6), strand = "+", 
#'     score = 5L, GC = 0.45)
#' gr2 <- GRanges(seqnames = c("chr1", "chr1"),
#'     ranges = IRanges(c(7,13), width = 3), strand = c("+", "-"), 
#'     score = 3:4, GC = c(0.3, 0.5))
#' 
#' ## This statement creates a GRangesList using the previous GRanges 
#' 
#' grl = GRangesList(gr1, gr2)
#' 
#' ## This statement defines the path to the subdirectory "example" of the 
#' ## package "RGMQL" and exports the GRangesList as GMQL datasets with sample 
#' ## files in GTF file format, using the last name of 'dir_out' path as 
#' ## dataset name
