Retrieve Meta-data from eSets and ExpressionSets.

These generic functions access generic data, abstracts, PubMed IDs and experiment data from instances of the eSet-class or ExpressionSet-class.

abstract(object)

pubMedIds(object) <- value
experimentData(object)
experimentData(object) <- value

`object`	Object, possibly derived from `eSet-class` or `MIAME-class`
`value`	Value to be assigned; see class of `object` (e.g., `eSet-class`) for specifics.
