#' w4m2bioc: Conversion between the Workflow4metabolomics tabulated
#' format and the ExpressionSet bioconductor class
#'
#' The objective of the w4m2bioc package is to facilitate the handling
#' of preprocessed data and metadata (i.e., after the XCMS and CAMERA steps in
#' metabolomics) between the Galaxy-based Workflow4metabolomics.org online
#' infrastructure and the R environment. Preprocessed data and metadata are
#' handled by the Galaxy modules from the Workflow4Metabolomics infrastructure
#' as three tabulated .tsv files. Within R such data and metadata can be
#' conveniently handled in an ExpressionSet object from the Biobase bioconductor
#' package. The w4m2bioc package thus provides function and methods to
#' import/export the three .tsv files into/from an ExpressionSet object.
