Dataset

Description

There is a new rgbif maintainer: John Waller. NEW FEATURES derived_dataset() : New function to register a cleaned or modified dataset on GBIF for citation. (#467) name_backbone_checklist() : New function that takes a list, vector, or data.frame of scientific names and asynchronously matches them to the backbone. (#475) pred_isnull() : New predicate function that includes NULL values from a column in the download. (#489) occ_download.print() : Now prints out much more information including a DOI and citation. (#494) DEPRECATED gbif_citation.gbif() : it is no longer considered best practice to generate a citation from occ_search() or occ_data(). We recommend occ_download() or derived_dataset() instead. (#494) MINOR IMPROVEMENTS occ_download_wait() and occ_download_meta() : now accept a class character download key directly. The keys does do not need to be class "occ_download". (#487) name_backbone() : now returns new columns "verbatim_name", "verabtim_genus" ect. that the user has supplied. This makes it easier for the user to track what has been matched. The verbose argument also has been un-retired. If verbose=TRUE, more results will be returned in a single data.frame. (#475) gbif_citation() : will now accept a download key directly. occ_download_get() : Does not throw an error if the data is already present and overwrite=FALSE, it will just give a warning and return the already present dataset. This allows users to run occ_download_get(key) %>% occ_download_import() multiple times without re-downloading the same file with overwrite=TRUE. download_predicate_dsl() : "publishingOrg" now added as a download key. (#496) key_lkup now includes GBIF-style uppercase keys as well. So pred("TAXON_KEY",212) and pred("taxonKey",212) will both work. DOCUMENTATION Wrote new articles highlighting new features and encouraging the use of occ_download() over occ_search(). New articles: Citing GBIF Mediated Data Set Up Your GBIF Username and Password Getting Occurrence Data From GBIF Downloading A Long Species List Working With Taxonomic Names BUG FIXES occ_download_import() : fixed bug related to select argument. (#479) map_fetch() : fixed bug related to sp::CRS (#497)
