Convert Between 'WKT' and 'GeoJSON'

Convert 'WKT' to 'GeoJSON' and 'GeoJSON' to 'WKT'. Functions included for converting between 'GeoJSON' to 'WKT', creating both 'GeoJSON' features, and non-features, creating 'WKT' from R objects (e.g., lists, data.frames, vectors), and linting 'WKT'.

Generate Random 'WKT' or 'GeoJSON'

Generate random positions (latitude/longitude), Well-known text ('WKT') points or polygons, or 'GeoJSON' points or polygons.

Interface to 'DigitalOcean'

Provides a set of functions for interacting with the 'DigitalOcean' API < https://www.digitalocean.com/>, including creating images, destroying them, rebooting, getting details on regions, and available images.

Client for the 'DataCite' API

Client for the web service methods provided by 'DataCite' (< https://www.datacite.org/>), including functions to interface with their 'RESTful' search API. The API is backed by 'Elasticsearch', allowing expressive queries, including faceting.

'Microsoft Academic' API Client

The 'Microsoft Academic Knowledge' API provides programmatic access to scholarly articles in the 'Microsoft Academic Graph' (< https://academic.microsoft.com/>). Includes methods matching all 'Microsoft Academic' API routes, including search, graph search, text similarity, and interpret natural language query string.

Semantically Rich I/O for the 'NeXML' Format

Provides access to phyloinformatic data in 'NeXML' format. The package should add new functionality to R such as the possibility to manipulate 'NeXML' objects in more various and refined way and compatibility with 'ape' objects.

Interface to the 'Open Tree of Life' API

An interface to the 'Open Tree of Life' API to retrieve phylogenetic trees, information about studies used to assemble the synthetic tree, and utilities to match taxonomic names to 'Open Tree identifiers'. The 'Open Tree of Life' aims at assembling a comprehensive phylogenetic tree for all named species.

Humane Interface to Amazon Web Services

An opinionated interface to Amazon Web Services < https://aws.amazon.com>, with functions for interacting with 'IAM' (Identity and Access Management), 'S3' (Simple Storage Service), 'RDS' (Relational Data Service), Redshift, and Billing. Lower level functions ('aws_' prefix) are for do it yourself workflows, while higher level functions ('six_' prefix) automate common tasks.

Search 'Vertnet', a 'Database' of Vertebrate Specimen Records

Retrieve, map and summarize data from the 'VertNet.org' archives (< https://vertnet.org/>). Functions allow searching by many parameters, including 'taxonomic' names, places, and dates. In addition, there is an interface for conducting spatially delimited searches, and another for requesting large 'datasets' via email.

Classes for Storing and Manipulating Taxonomic Data

Provides classes for storing and manipulating taxonomic data. Most of the classes can be treated like base R vectors (e.g. can be used in tables as columns and can be named). Vectorized classes can store taxon names and authorities, taxon IDs from databases, taxon ranks, and other types of information. More complex classes are provided to store taxonomic trees and user-defined data associated with them.
