addDataSource: Add a new data source to a bioassayR database

In bioassayR: Cross-target analysis of small molecule bioactivity

Description

This function adds a new data source (name/description and version) for tracking data within a bioassayR database. This can be used later to identify the source of any specific activity data within the database, or to limit analysis to data from specific source(s).

Usage

addDataSource(database, description, version)

Arguments

database	A BioassayDB database to add a new data source to.
description	A string containing a name or description of the new data source. This exact value will be used as a key for querying and loading data from this source.
version	A string with the version and/or date of the data source. This can be used to track the date in which a non-version data source was mirrored.
