check_directory

<p>Checks that files in the <code>data-publish</code> directory meet Darwin Core Standard.
<code>check_directory()</code> runs <code>corella::check_dataset()</code> on <code>occurrences.csv</code> and
<code>events.csv</code> files, and <code>delma::check_metadata()</code> on the <code>eml.xml</code>
file, if they are present. These <code>check_</code> functions run tests to determine
whether data and metadata pass Darwin Core Standard criteria.</p>

The Darwin Core data standard is widely used to share
biodiversity information, most notably by the Global Biodiversity Information
Facility and its partner nodes; but converting data to this standard can be
tricky. 'galaxias' is functionally similar to 'devtools', but with a focus on
building Darwin Core Archives rather than R packages, enabling data to be
shared and re-used with relative ease. For details see
Wieczorek and colleagues (2012) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0029715>.
