Potential enhancements or additions to package #28

Closed kyle-messier closed 7 months ago

kyle-messier commented 7 months ago

Some half-baked ideas for package development. Putting them here for posterity and will hopefully expand upon soon:

  1. ICE and AP data availability. A "list_available_chems" function that lets you know chems (CASRN) in ICE and exposure database (EPA NATA)
  2. Should we use S3 or S4 OOP style? Potentially avoid users having to use *apply functions extensively. I am wondering if we define a class, we can have methods that act upon it. There can methods for single chem, multiple chem, single location, multiple locations, single/multiple FIPS, etc. you get the idea.
  3. Access cHTS and other ICE data through their REST API (I found it!) https://ice.ntp.niehs.nih.gov/USERGUIDES?section=Rest%20API
  4. Better yet than (3), would be REST API query of the CompTox, but that is a definite v2.0 ask if anything
  5. Build a generic function (method if OO) that can handle other routes of exposure (oral, dermal). As it currently stands, it seems like an air pollution only method and package.

Regarding (1) above - I think we looked into the API and it was not the raw D-R data. I'll ping Inotiv and see if that is something that could be set up.

Nicole has asked Sciome to add their curated cHTS raw D-R data to the ICE REST API.
