In geoSpectral: Classes and Methods for Working with Spectral Data with Space-Time Attributes

#' @title Classes and Methods for Working with Spectral Data with Space-Time Attributes
#'
#' @description 
#' Provides S4 classes and data import, preprocessing, graphing, manipulation and
#' export methods for geo-Spectral datasets (datasets with space/time/spectral dimensions). 
#' These type of data are frequently collected within earth observation projects (remote sensing, 
#' spectroscopy, bio-optical oceanography, mining, agricultural, atmospheric, environmental or 
#' similar branch of science). 
#'
#' @details 
#' This package provides the following S4 classes: 
#' \itemize{
#'   \item \code{Spectra} (stores spatial/temporal/spectral aspects of data)
#'   \item \code{SpcHeader} (stores metadata in an R list object)
#'   \item \code{SpcList} (makes a collection of Spectra objects in an R list)
#' }
#' as well as basic data access and manipulation methods for importing, acessing and
#' subsetting, converting into R objects, analyzing, plotting, and exporting to other scientific
#' data formats. Have a look at the constructor function by typing \code{?Spectra} to get started.
