downloadSource

Download a source. The function is a wrapper for specific functions designed
for the different possible source types.

Provides a framework which should improve reproducibility and
transparency in data processing. It provides functionality such as
automatic meta data creation and management, rudimentary quality
management, data caching, work-flow management and data aggregation.
* The title is a wish not a promise. By no means we expect this
package to deliver everything what is needed to achieve full
reproducibility and transparency, but we believe that it supports
efforts in this direction.
