GeoLocatoR is an R package that helps you create, use, and share your geolocator data in an easy way.
🚀 Overview
GeoLocatoR is designed to help you create and work with the GeoLocator Data Package (GeoLocator DP), a standardized format for geolocator data that follows the Data Package standard, ensuring your data is organized, accessible, and ready to share.
🦅 Main Features
- Creates a GeoLocator Data Package: Create a geolocator datapackage object, add resources (data), and write the data package to your preferred directory. Or, read an existing data package from a directory or from Zenodo.
- Works Seamlessly with GeoPressureTemplate: GeoLocatoR is compatible with GeoPressureTemplate — a template repository for analyzing geolocator data using GeoPressureR. Use both together to streamline your analysis and maintain a standardized project structure.
- Supports Swiss Ornithological Institute Data: Special functions have been designed to deal with internal SOI data. See this vignette.
-
Built on frictionless-r: This package is built using the
frictionless-rpackage, adhering to the Frictionless Data standards for open data.
📦 What is a Data Package?
A Data Package is a lightweight format for packaging data using the Data Package standard. It provides a framework for organizing your data files, metadata, and descriptive information in a consistent and reusable manner. For geolocator data, this ensures that information about tagged birds, their movements, and associated metadata are all bundled into a single exchangeable package.
