Update DESCRIPTION to match citation

[HedvigS]

Could we update the DESCRIPTION document to match the citation? I can do the PR if you'd like @SietzeN

Thanks a lot @HedvigS, I just discussed this with @ruidongsmile as well. Yes please go ahead and do the PR. By the way, @ruidongsmile has just implemented grambank to glottospace as well.

[HedvigS]

Okay, thanks!

What does it mean to implement grambank in glottospace practically?

[HedvigS]

I see https://github.com/glottospace/glottospace/blob/main/R/glottoget_grambank.R now, okay that's fair. I'd prefer using rcldf and rgrambank, but they're not released yet so that's fair.

We've written this page which may be of interest to @ruidongsmile : https://github.com/grambank/grambank/wiki/Fetching-and-analysing-Grambank-data-with-R

@HedvigS note that this wiki page still has the now-disfunctional Zenodo URL.

Stimmt.
When I have time, I'm planning on rewriting the page to primarily direct people to rcldf and rgrambank, and add curl as a second alternative.

@HedvigS By "implementing grambank in glottospace", we mean that:

1. There is an internal version of grambank dataset, which is the Version v1.0.3.
2. With the function glottoget(), if set glottodata = "grambank" and download = TRUE, the user can download the latest version of grambank. I checked the rgrambank, it seems in rgrambank so far it contains only the url of v1.0.3.
3. Moreover, in the function glottoget() if set glottodata = "grambankspace", the user can get a spatially enhanced version of grambank, that is an sf object. The document of glottoget contains more details of that.

Got it. With rgrambank and rcldf, we recommend people to fetch the data from Zenodo, Git etc and then use the packages functions on the fetched data rather than store it internally. I'll have a closer look at the glottoget implementation for grambank

That's neat with the sf object :).
