     We try to cover the MIAME entries that are not covered by other
     classes in Bioconductor. Namely, experimental design, samples,
     hybridizations, normalization controls, and pre-processing
     information.

_S_l_o_t_s:

     '_n_a_m_e': Object of class '"character"' containing the experimenter
          name

     '_l_a_b': Object of class '"character"' containing the laboratory
          where the experiment was conducted

     '_c_o_n_t_a_c_t': Object of class '"character"' containing contact
          information for lab and/or experimenter

     '_t_i_t_l_e': Object of class '"character"' containing a
          single-sentence experiment title 

     '_a_b_s_t_r_a_c_t': Object of class '"character"' containing an abstract
          describing the experiment

     '_u_r_l': Object of class '"character"' containing a URL for the
          experiment

     '_s_a_m_p_l_e_s': Object of class '"list"' containg information about the
          samples

     '_h_y_b_r_i_d_i_z_a_t_i_o_n_s': Object of class '"list"' containing information
          about the hybridizations

     '_n_o_r_m_C_o_n_t_r_o_l_s': Object of class '"list"' containing information
          about the controls such as house keeping genes

     '_p_r_e_p_r_o_c_e_s_s_i_n_g': Object of class '"list"' containing information
          about the pre-processing steps used on the raw data from this
          experiment

     '_o_t_h_e_r': Object of class '"list"' containing other  information
          for which none of the above slots does not applies

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:
