Description: The Investigation / Study / Assay (ISA) tab-delimited
	 format is a general purpose framework with which to collect
	 and communicate complex metadata (i.e. sample
	 characteristics, technologies used, type of measurements
	 made) from experiments employing a combination of
	 technologies, spanning from traditional approaches to
	 high-throughput techniques. Risa allows to access
	 metadata/data in ISA-Tab format and build Bioconductor data
	 structures. Currently, data generated from microarray, flow
	 cytometry and metabolomics-based (i.e. mass spectrometry)
	 assays are supported.  The package is extendable and efforts
	 are undergoing to support metadata associated to proteomics
	 assays.
