R: Base Class for oce Objects

## Base Class for oce Objects

### Description

This is mainly used within oce to create sub-classes, although users can use `new("oce")` to create a blank `oce` object, if desired.

### Slots

`metadata`

  A list containing information about the data. The contents vary across sub-classes, e.g. an `adp-class` object has information about beam patterns, which obviously would not make sense for a `ctd-class` object In addition, all classes have items named `units` and `flags`, used to store information on the units of the data, and the data quality.

`data`

  A list containing the data.

`processingLog`

  A list containing time-stamped processing steps, typically stored in the object by oce functions.
