Build repositories to share biodiversity data
Description
galaxias
helps users describe, package and share biodiversity
information using the 'Darwin Core' data standard, which is the format used
and accepted by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and its'
partner nodes. galaxias
is functionally similar to devtools
, but with a focus on
building Darwin Core Archives rather than R packages.
The package is named for a genus of freshwater fish.
