A metadata statement lists the owner of the dataset, how it was collected,
and how it can be used (i.e. its' licence). This function simply reads
converts metadata stored in a markdown file, converts it to xml, and saves it
in the destination file.
Usage
build_metadata(source = "metadata.md", destination = "./data/eml.xml")
Arguments
- source
A metadata file stored in markdown format (.md). Defaults
to metadata.md, which is the same as is created by use_metdata()
- destination
A file where the result should be saved. Defaults to
data/eml.xml.
Value
Does not return an object to the workspace; called for the side
effect of building a file named meta.xml in the data directory.
Details
This function is a fairly shallow wrapper on top of functionality build
in the paperbark package, particularly read_md() and write_eml(). You can
use that package to gain greater control, or to debug problems, should you
wish.
