Make working with the result easier

Ironholds commented 8 years ago

Can you define "generic accessor methods"?

raphaelvolz commented 8 years ago

instead of built in vector/data frame handling in R I would want to have for example a method, that gives me the direct value of a a property for an object

Example

adams <- get_item("42")

Now I have to navigate in the data frame of data frames of

adams$claims

to find what i need

I would be looking to use something olike

adamswebsite < get_value("42", "P856")

Now i have to navigate ...$mainsnak$datavalue$value

Sounds sensible. Thanks! In the future it would be great to have all of this when the feature request is first submitted.
