add configuration for enabling automated data checks #39

Closed jhpoelen closed 7 years ago

Hi! In this pull request, you'll find a file .travis.yml to help supports automated data integrity checks using http://travis-ci.org . If you accept this pull request and enable the repository in https://travis-ci.org (for examples see http://globalbioticinteractions.org/status).

The idea is that each time someone commits a change, travis automatically runs a test and sends a notification whenever something needs attention. The included file uses a GloBI checker tool that verifies that the data can be read by GloBI. I can imagine that others checks (like running R scripts) can be used that are more specific to your project.

Hope this helps, -jorrit
