configure_caplter

configure_caplter establishes several data set elements that are likely to be consistent across all CAP LTER or GIOS data sets, including language, distribution, and access. In addition, address, publisher, and contact are established each specific to CAP LTER or GIOS. The appropriate reference (to CAP LTER or GIOS) should be made for these elements at the time of eml$dataset construction. Note that several elements apply to all projects. These include: giosLanguage, capRights, and lterAccess.

Usage

giosAddress

Format

An object of class list of length 9.

Value

establishes in the R environment upon package load, eml entities referenced in (or outside) a EML development template.

Details

configure_caplter establishes several data set elements that are likely to be consistent across all CAP LTER or GIOS data sets, including language, distribution, and access. In addition, address, publisher, and contact are established each specific to CAP LTER or GIOS. The appropriate reference (to CAP LTER or GIOS) should be made for these elements at the time of eml$dataset construction. Most of these eml entities are established in the R environment when the capeml package is loaded and available for reference in the EML development template. Distribution is the exception as this is a function that requires the data set package identifier as an input.

Note

Most entities are simply loaded when the package is loaded without the need to call them explicitly. An exception is the create_distribution() function.
