abstract: '''OSTA.data'' is a companion package for the "Orchestrating Spatial Transcriptomics
  Analysis" (OSTA) with Bioconductor online book. Throughout OSTA, we rely on a set
  of publicly available datasets that cover different sequencing- and imaging-based
  platforms, such as Visium, Visium HD, Xenium (10x Genomics) and CosMx (NanoString).
  In addition, we rely on scRNA-seq (Chromium) data for tasks, e.g., spot deconvolution
  and label transfer (i.e., supervised clustering). These data been deposited in an
  Open Storage Framework (OSF) repository, and can be queried and downloaded using
  functions from the ''osfr'' package. For convenience, we have implemented ''OSTA.data''
  to query and retrieve data from our OSF node, and cache retrieved Zip archives using
  ''BiocFileCache''.'
