Introduction

This package was originally developed 2 years ago in support of a paper that was in development about habitat use of bearded seals in Alaska. The general idea was to bundle the data needed for the analysis and all of the dense metadata associated with the tag hardware and programming into a single R package. The R package structure was chosen for ease of use among the key collaborators. Zenodo was chosen as the archive because it created a citable DOI for each GitHub release and was easy to implement.

The master branch represents the approach and result I developed 2 years ago. The 'rrtools' branch represents my attempt to rebuild (with the support of the Provathon17 group) the package as a use case.

Provathon17 Use Case

During the Provathon17 meeting, there was a desire to develop use cases that could provide the following contribution to the community:

  1. develop methods and 'best practices' for integrating the R development process and R package structure for creating data products with DataONE
  2. explore various package structures and workflows that resonate with the community
  3. explore use of provenance tools and approaches
  4. provide an example for new users wanting to get started with reproducible research
  5. promote reproducible research just by being awesome

Please use to the 'provathon use case' milestone to organize our discussions related to this effort
