textMetadata,KorAPConnection-method: Retrieve metadata for a text, identified by its sigle (id)
Description
Retrieves metadata for a text, identified by its sigle (id) using the corresponding KorAP API
(see Kustvakt Wiki).
To retrieve the metadata for every text in a virtual corpus, use corpusQuery()
with <base/s=t> as query, instead.
Tibble with columns for each metadata property. In case of errors, such as non-existing texts/sigles, the tibble will also contain a column called errors.
If there are metadata columns you cannot make sense of, please ignore them. The function simply returns all the metadata it gets from the server.
Arguments
kco
KorAPConnection() object (obtained e.g. from KorAPConnection())
textSigle
unique text id (concatenation of corpus, document and text ids, separated by /, e.g. ) or vector thereof
verbose
logical. If TRUE, additional diagnostics are printed. Defaults to kco@verbose.
cacheAs
path to an RDS file to keep the result in. If the file exists and records the same call, it is read back instead of contacting the server; otherwise the query is run and its result stored there. Unlike the connection's cache, this file belongs to the caller, which is what keeps an analysis reproducible once the corpus has grown or the scores have changed. Defaults to NULL (no file).
