library(bdDwC)
runDwC()To use bdDwC from the command line:
Load bdDwC package
library(bdDwC)bdDwC contains Indian Reptile dataset
bdDwC:::dataReptiles.
Darwinize data with darwinizeNames (replace
bdDwC:::dataReptiles with wanted dataset):
result <- darwinizeNames(dataUser = bdDwC:::dataReptiles,
                        dataDWC   = bdDwC:::dataDarwinCloud$data)Rename your data using bdDwC with
renameUserData:
# Replace `bdDwC:::dataReptiles` with wanted dataset
renameUserData(bdDwC:::dataReptiles, result)To get newest version of Darwin Cloud Data run:
downloadCloudData()which will download data from the remote repository and extract field and standard names.
