## What is an `organisation` in the `checklist` context
The `organisation` object defines rules about the organisation related to the project (or package).
`checklist` assumes by default that a project is a part of the [Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO)](https://www.vlaanderen.be/inbo/).
And it will enforce to mention INBO as copyright holder and funder.
Such a rule limits the use of `checklist` outside of INBO.
Therefore we added the `organisation` object.
It contains the following elements:
- [GitHub](https://github.com) organisation
- copyright holder
- funder
- organisation e-mail
- [Zenodo](https://zenodo.org) community
- a list of organisation affiliations
The organisation affiliations must be a named list using the email domain names as names.
Every element is a list containing the elements `affiliation` and `orcid`.
`affiliation` is a character vector with one or more allowed organisation names.
Use multiple values to add optional translations of the organisation name.
`orcid` must be either `TRUE` or `FALSE`.
Setting `orcid` to `TRUE` requires every author with matching e-mail to have an [ORCID](https://orcid.org/) number.
## Defining a specific `organisation` for a project
First generate the object with `organisation$new()`.
Then store this object in your project with `write_organisation()`.
The function stores the information in `organisation.yml`, a plain text file in YAML format.
```{r}
library(checklist)
# create a dummy project
my_project_path <- tempfile("my_project")
dir.create(my_project_path)
# create an organisation object
org <- organisation$new(
rightsholder = "Vlaamse overheid", funder = "Vlaamse overheid",
email = "info@vlaanderen.be", github = "vlaanderen",
community = NA_character_,
organisation = list(
"vlaanderen.be" = list(
affiliation = "Vlaamse overheid", orcid = FALSE
)
)
)
# store the organisation in the dummy project
write_organisation(org, my_project_path)
```
## Defining a default `organisation` object for your machine
Store the organisation as a default with `default_organisation(org = org)`.
Whenever `checklist` needs the `organisation` information, it will retrieve it with `read_organisation()`.
It first looks at project root folder for the `organisation.yml` file.
When missing it looks for the machines default `organisation.yml`.
In this case it will copy the machines default `organisation.yml` into the project.
Hence the `organisation` information is a part of the project, which is required to use the information during checks on other machines.
When `read_organisation()` finds neither a project `organisation.yml` nor a machines default `organisation.yml`, it reverts to the INBO `organisation`.
