databaseClass-class.RdThe `databaseClass` S4 class is designed to store and manage information related to spectral databases. It contains slots for database metadata, spectra information, and the actual spectral data.
This class is used to manage and organize spectral data within a larger analytical pipeline. The `database.info` slot stores high-level metadata, while `spectra.info` and `spectra.data` contain details and the actual spectral information, respectively.
database.infoA list containing metadata or general information about the database.
spectra.infoA data frame that holds information about each spectrum, such as identifiers or attributes. The data frame is initialized empty.
spectra.dataA list where each element corresponds to a spectrum's data.
