Basics

  • Title: Create a native R package for accessing DataONE
  • Short name: Data1R
  • Organizers: Matt Jones
  • Repository link: e.g., rdataone
  • Issue tracking link: Issues
  • IRC channel: irc:irc.ecoinformatics.org?channel=dataone
  • Etherpad link or GDoc link
  • Session ticket: #9

Defining Goals

  • Refactor the DataONE R package to natively implement access to the DataONE REST services API within the R language. The current implementation uses a Java bridge to execute the Java DataONE libclient library, which is not portable across platforms, and can be fragile to build and install on certain platforms. By refactoring, all R platforms will be supported through the use of the RCurl library. Initial design work and partial implementation on this has already been started.

Project Setup

Defining Tasks

  • Refactor all current classes that use Java to instead use native R implementation
