The dataset R Package

]

The aim of the dataset package is to make tidy datasets easier to release, exchange and reuse. It organizes and formats data frame R objects into well-referenced, well-described, interoperable datasets into release and reuse ready form.

1. Offer a way to better utilise the utils:bibentry bibliographic entry objects by extending them with the fields of the Dublin Core and DataCite tenders, and making them detachable from the data. This extension aims to work with a data.frame or an inherited tibble, tsibble or data.table. See for more information the Bibentry for FAIR datasets vignette.
2. Extending the haven_labelled class of the tidyverse for consistently labelled categorical variables with linked (standard) definitions and units of measures in our defined class.
3. Offering a new data frame format, dataset_df that extends tibbles with semantically rich metadata, ready to be shared on open data exchange platforms and in data repositories. This s3 class is aimed at developers and we are working on several packages that provide interoperability with SDMX statistical data exchange platforms, Wikidata, or the EU Open Data portal.
