camtrapdp 0.3.1.9000

• New function write_camtrapdp() writes a Camera Trap Data Package to disk as a datapackage.json and CSV files (#137).
• New function merge_camtrapdp() allows to merge two datasets (#112).
• New function write_eml() transforms Camtrap DP metadata to EML (#99).
• New function round_coordinates() allows to fuzzy/generalize location information by rounding deployment latitude and longitude. It also updates coordinateUncertainty in the deployments and coordinatePrecision and spatial scope in the metadata (#106).
• New function shift_time() allows to shift/correct date-times in data and metadata for specified deploymentIDs and duration (#108).
• filter_deployments() and deployments()<- now update the spatial, temporal and taxonomic scope in the metadata based on the returned data (#100, #132).
• filter_observations(), filter_media(), media()<- and observations()<- now update the taxonomic scope in the metadata based on the returned data (#89, #100, #130).
• read_camtrapdp() now updates the spatial and temporal scope in metadata based on the data (#130).
• read_camtrapdp() now upgrades datasets to Camtrap DP 1.0.1. The internal function convert() has been renamed to upgrade() (#113).
• Internal function build_taxa() is renamed to taxonomic() (#130).
• taxa() now removes duplicates (#130).

camtrapdp 0.3.1 (2024-07-05)

• Fix CRAN note (#102).

camtrapdp 0.3.0

• New function print() prints a human-readable summary of the Camera Trap Data Package (#8).
• Fix fieldsEnclosedBy issue in meta.xml, so GBIF occurrence processing correctly handles commas in fields (#95).
• Fix CRAN note (#94).

camtrapdp 0.2.1 (2024-06-05)

• First release on CRAN. 🎉
• write_dwc() no longer writes to "." by default, since this is not allowed by CRAN policies. The user needs to explicitly define a directory (#79).

camtrapdp 0.2.0

• New function read_camtrapdp() reads data files from a Camtrap DP into memory (#9). It will make the data easier to use, by assigning taxonomic information (found in the metadata) to the observations and eventIDs (found in the observations) to the media (#37).
• New accessor functions deployments(), media() and observations() return a data frame with the deployments, media and observations respectively (#29). These functions also have an assignment equivalent (#50).
• New accessor functions locations(), events() and taxa() return a data frame with unique locations, events and taxa respectively (#22, #57, #17).
• New functions filter_deployments(), filter_observations() and filter_media() allow to filter data. They work similarly to dplyr's filter() (#23).
• New function write_dwc() transforms a Camera Trap Data Package to a Darwin Core Archive (#55).
• New function example_package() returns the latest Camtrap DP example dataset and caches the result (#24, #67).
• New function version() allows to get the version of a camtrapdp object.
• New internal function check_camtrapdp() validates a camtrapdp object (#34).
• New internal function convert() converts camtrapdp objects to the latest version. This function is currently not used, as the only supported version is Camtrap DP 1.0 (#9).
• dplyr's pipe (%>%) is included in NAMESPACE, so you don’t have to load dplyr (or magrittr) to use it (#56). %>% and .data are imported at package level, so they can be used in functions without namespace (#37).
