emld

emld-package

<p>The goal of emld is to provide a way to work with EML metadata
in the JSON-LD format. At it's heart, the package is simply a
way to translate an EML XML document into JSON-LD and be able
to reverse this so that any semantically equivalent JSON-LD
file can be serialized into EML-schema valid XML.</p>

This is a utility for transforming Ecological Metadata Language
('EML') files into 'JSON-LD' and back into 'EML.'  Doing so creates a
list-based representation of 'EML' in R, so that 'EML' data can easily
be manipulated using standard 'R' tools. This makes this package an
effective backend for other 'R'-based tools  working with 'EML.' By
abstracting away the complexity of 'XML' Schema, developers can
build around native 'R' list objects and not have to worry about satisfying
many of the additional constraints of set by the schema (such as element
ordering, which is handled automatically). Additionally, the 'JSON-LD'
representation enables the use of developer-friendly 'JSON' parsing and
serialization that may facilitate the use of 'EML' in contexts outside of 'R,'
as well as the informatics-friendly serializations such as 'RDF' and
'SPARQL' queries.
