movepub (development version)

movepub 0.4.0

write_eml

  • write_eml() is now a separate function from write_dwc() (#57).
  • write_eml() now formats the derived_paragraph as DocBook (rather than HTML), a format supported by EML and the GBIF IPT (#102). The paragraph is also shorter and added at the end of the abstract (#76).
  • New html_to_docbook() allows to convert a string or character vector from HTML to DocBook. You can use this to convert descriptions in order to have valid EML (#101).
  • write_eml() and write_dwc() no longer add [subsampled representation] to the dataset title (#76).

write_dwc

  • write_dwc() can now be used for an unpublished dataset (i.e. without metadata on DataCite, which was required for the previously build-in write_eml() functionality). Some record-level terms (e.g. dwc:datasetName) can be provided as arguments (#57, #72).
  • write_dwc() (and write_eml()) no longer writes to "." by default, since this is not allowed by CRAN policies. The user needs to explicitly define a directory (#70).
  • write_dwc() now writes the output file as occurrence.csv (previously dwc_occurrence.csv) and adds a meta.xml file. The sex and life stage of the animal are - in addition to dwc:sex and dwc:lifeStage in occurrence.csv - expressed in an extended measurement or facts file (emof.csv), for better support with OBIS (#71, #77, #78).
  • write_dwc() provides a message regarding the matching of scientific names with WoRMS Aphia IDs. These IDs are now clickable URLs, making it easier to verify the match (#58).
  • write_dwc() is now more modular, facilitating extension for non-GPS tracking data (#66).

Other

movepub 0.3.0

  • write_dwc() now makes use of dplyr rather than SQL for its transformation. This reduces the number of dependencies (#61).
