emld: Ecological Metadata as Linked Data

The goal of emld is to provide a way to work with EML metadata in the JSON-LD format. At it's heart, the package is simply a way to translate an EML XML document into JSON-LD and be able to reverse this so that any semantically equivalent JSON-LD file can be serialized into EML-schema valid XML.

Details

The package has only three core functions:

• as_emld() Convert EML's xml files (or the json version created by this package) into a native R object (an S3 class called emld, essentially just a list).

• as_xml() Convert the native R format, emld, back into XML-schema valid EML.

• as_json() Convert the native R format, emld, into json(LD).
