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.

'IUCN' Red List Client

'IUCN' Red List (< https://api.iucnredlist.org/>) client. The 'IUCN' Red List is a global list of threatened and endangered species. Functions cover all of the Red List 'API' routes. An 'API' key is required.

Tools for Validating 'GeoJSON'

Tools for linting 'GeoJSON'. Includes tools for interacting with the online tool < http://geojsonlint.com>, the 'Javascript' library 'geojsonhint' (< https://www.npmjs.com/package/geojsonhint>), and validating against a 'GeoJSON' schema via the 'Javascript' library (< https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-my-json-valid>). Some tools work locally while others require an internet connection.

Make Fake Data

Make fake data that looks realistic, supporting addresses, person names, dates, times, colors, coordinates, currencies, digital object identifiers ('DOIs'), jobs, phone numbers, 'DNA' sequences, doubles and integers from distributions and within a range.

Seamless R and C++ Integration

The 'Rcpp' package provides R functions as well as C++ classes which offer a seamless integration of R and C++. Many R data types and objects can be mapped back and forth to C++ equivalents which facilitates both writing of new code as well as easier integration of third-party libraries. Documentation about 'Rcpp' is provided by several vignettes included in this package, via the 'Rcpp Gallery' site at < https://gallery.rcpp.org>, the paper by Eddelbuettel and Francois (2011, ), the book by Eddelbuettel (2013, ) and the paper by Eddelbuettel and Balamuta (2018, ); see 'citation("Rcpp")' for details.

Access for Dryad Web Services

Interface to the Dryad "Solr" API, their "OAI-PMH" service, and fetch datasets. Dryad (< https://datadryad.org/>) is a curated host of data underlying scientific publications.

RDF Library Bindings in R

Provides methods to parse, query and serialize information stored in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF is described at < https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/>. This package supports RDF by implementing an R interface to the Redland RDF C library, described at < https://librdf.org/docs/api/index.html>. In brief, RDF provides a structured graph consisting of Statements composed of Subject, Predicate, and Object Nodes.

Convert Among Citation Formats

Converts among many citation formats, including 'BibTeX', 'Citeproc', 'Codemeta', 'RDF XML', 'RIS', 'Schema.org', and 'Citation File Format'. A low level 'R6' class is provided, as well as stand-alone functions for each citation format for both read and write.

Get 'SNP' ('Single-Nucleotide' 'Polymorphism') Data on the Web

A programmatic interface to various 'SNP' 'datasets' on the web: 'OpenSNP' (< https://opensnp.org>), and 'NBCIs' 'dbSNP' database (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/>). Functions are included for searching for 'NCBI'. For 'OpenSNP', functions are included for getting 'SNPs', and data for 'genotypes', 'phenotypes', annotations, and bulk downloads of data by user.

Generate Citation File Format ('CFF') Metadata

Citation File Format ('CFF') version 1.2.0 is a human- and machine-readable file format for software citation metadata. Core utilities generate, read, write and validate Citation File Format metadata for 'R' packages.
