eml_write or write_eml? #24

Open mairindeith opened 8 years ago

mairindeith commented 8 years ago

I'm looking to create EML metadata for my own dataset, and have encountered a few issues with the EML library. The main problem I'm currently facing down is this:

Although the example posted on the homework page uses the command eml_write(...), R doesn't recognize eml_write as a command. Instead, the command listed in the help pages is write_eml(...). When I use this command, however, both the example XML and the file I create from my own data have a parsing errors and can't be viewed.

Any thoughts on what might be going on?

you are right!, the command is write_eml, I used the following in the example in class, and it created the file write_eml(dat, col.defs = col.defs, unit.defs = unit.defs, creator = "Carl Boettiger <cboettig@ropensci.org>", file = "EML_example.xml")
