Create an OAI-ORE resource map from the package

Source: R/DataPackage.R
serializePackage.Rd

The DataPackage is serialized as a OAI-ORE resource map to the specified file.

Usage

serializePackage(x, ...)

# S4 method for DataPackage
serializePackage(
  x,
  file,
  id = NA_character_,
  syntaxName = "rdfxml",
  mimeType = "application/rdf+xml",
  namespaces = data.frame(namespace = character(), prefix = character(),
    stringsAsFactors = FALSE),
  syntaxURI = NA_character_,
  resolveURI = NA_character_,
  creator = NA_character_
)

Arguments

x

A DataPackage object

...

Additional arguments

file

The file to which the ResourceMap will be serialized

id

A unique identifier for the serialization. The default value is the id assigned to the DataPackage when it was created.

syntaxName

The name of the syntax to use for serialization - default is "rdfxml"

mimeType

The mimetype of the serialized output - the default is "application/rdf+xml"

namespaces

A data frame containing one or more namespaces and their associated prefix

syntaxURI

URI of the serialization syntax

resolveURI

A character string containing a URI to prepend to datapackage identifiers

creator

A character string containing the creator of the package.

Details

The resource map that is created is serialized by default as RDF/XML. Other serialization formats can be specified using the syntaxName and mimeType parameters. Other available formats include:

syntaxNamemimeType
jsonapplication/json
ntriplesapplication/n-triples
turtletext/turtle
dottext/x-graphviz

Note that the syntaxName and mimeType arguments together specify o serialization format.

Also, for packages that will be uploaded to the DataONE network, "rdfxml" is the only accepted format.

The resolveURI string value is prepended to DataPackage member identifiers in the resulting resource map. If no resolveURI value is specified, then 'https://cn.dataone.org/cn/v1/resolve' is used.

dp <- new("DataPackage")
data <- charToRaw("1,2,3\n4,5,6")
do <- new("DataObject", id="do1", dataobj=data, format="text/csv", user="jsmith")
dp <- addMember(dp, do)
data2 <- charToRaw("7,8,9\n10,11,12")
do2 <- new("DataObject", id="do2", dataobj=data2, format="text/csv", user="jsmith")
dp <- addMember(dp, do2)
dp <- describeWorkflow(dp, sources=do, derivations=do2)
if (FALSE) {
td <- tempdir()
status <- serializePackage(dp, file=paste(td, "resmap.json", sep="/"), syntaxName="json",  
    mimeType="application/json")
