_The authors don't have a vignette for mrp_colunique() but it would be helpful to include this since it can give the user a sense of what columns are available to them if they are not as familiar with the structure of the Marine Regions data product [...]

This is challenging for us, the Marine Regions Team, as the attributes of the data products don't follow any convention. Plus, in some cases none of us created the data products nor decided how to name or what attributes should be there. Nonetheless, we will add an exhaustive list defining each attributes the best we can to our understanding. Future efforts shall include standardization of such attributes, potentially reusing on-going standards.

The list with definitions is here: https://github.com/lifewatch/mregions2/blob/main/inst/mrp_ontology.csv

This is provisional and we may change it.

I will close for now as there are no immediate plans to make a better fix than what is currently on place
