corella-package {corella}R Documentation

Build shareable biodiversity datasets

Description

corella is for data preparation, editing and checking of data to follow the Darwin Core Standard, a global data standard to store, document, and share biodiversity information. The package provides tools to manipulate data to conform with, and check validity against, the Darwin Core Standard. Using corella will allow users to verify that their data can be used to build 'Darwin Core Archives' using the galaxias package.

The package is named for a genus of Australian birds. The logo image is of the Little Corella (Cacatua sanguinea), and was designed by Dax Kellie.
