Detailed Description

Baseclass for datasets.

Datasets are used to incorporate any kind of data and make it accessible through the DatasetControl. The data is stored as a void pointer and casted to its real type in the corresponding Contoller class. A dataset has the following attributes:

• a type, used for the cast
• a name, used for the entry in the DatasetControl
• a Composite pointer to know its corresponding molecular entity
• the void pointer for access to the data

<bf>NOTE:</bf> The data will not be deleted, when the Dataset is deleted. This has to be done in the DatasetController, since only it knows what kind of object is contained!
