Loads EML-formatted metadata into R for inspection and/or editing

`load_pkg_metadata()` is essentially a wrapper around `DPchecker::load_metadata` with the directory structure pre-set to work well the default location that `get_data_package` stores downloaded data packages. If you did not use the default settings for `get_data_package` (or downloaded a data package manually) you may find it easier to adjust the directory structure pointing to your data package and load the metadata using `DPchecker::load_metadata()`. Much like `load_metadata`, `load_pkg_metadata` requires that there be a single .xml file in the data package directory, that the metadata file name end in *_metadata.xml, and that the file contain schema-valid EML metadata.

Usage

load_pkg_metadata(reference_id, directory = "data")

Arguments

reference_id: is a 6-7 digit number corresponding to the reference ID of the data package on DataStore. Your data should be in a directory that that has the reference ID as its name.
directory: String. Path to the data package directory, defaults to "data".

Value

one data frame to the global environment.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
load_pkg_metadata(2266200)
} # }
