Make the Carob database — make

Make the Carob database.

run_carob runs a single Carob script for a dataset. Carob scripts download data to "<path>/data/raw", re-organize the data, check the variable names and controlled vocabulary used, check data types, ranges, and location of the coordinates, and write clean data to "carob/data/clean"

process_carob runs all the Carob scripts.

compile_carob combineds all the standardized data by "group" and saves these to "<path>/data/compiled")

make_carob is a convenience function that first runs process_carob and then runs compile_carob

run_carob(cleanuri, path, group="", quiet=FALSE)
process_carob(path, group="", quiet=FALSE, check=NULL, cache=TRUE, purge=FALSE)
compile_carob(path, group="", split_license=FALSE, zip=FALSE, excel=FALSE, cache=TRUE)
make_carob(path, group="", quiet=FALSE, check="all", report=FALSE, combine=FALSE, cache=TRUE, purge=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

cleanuri: character. A "clean" URI made with simpleURI
path: character. Local path to the Carob repo
group: character. group name
quiet: logical. Be quiet?
check: character. "none" to do no checking; "nogeo" to not check coordinates. "all" and all other values to do all checks
combine: logical. Should all data also be compiled into one file?
cache: logical. If TRUE, datasets are only recompiled if the R script has changed after the last compilation
report: logical. Should a html report be created for the datasets?
split_license: logical. Make a separate aggregation for data with a CC license?
excel: logical. Also write the results into an excel file?
zip: logical. zip the aggregated data?
purge: logical. If TRUE, datasets with the wrong version number are purged (removed)
...: additional arguments passed to compile_carob

Value

none. Used for the side effect of creating files.
