cldf validation of tables

[HedvigS]

cldf datasets come with a json metadata file which among other things report which tables within the dataset conform to which standards. It is probable that most cldf-datasets contain a file called "languages.csv", but it is not technically required. It is however required that the json file reports the standards and one of those may be something like:

dc:conformsTo == "http://cldf.clld.org/v1.0/terms.rdf#LanguageTable"

It would be great if there existed a standardised way in R to get cldf-datasets, specify which standardised table you want and have the function check the json metadata file for which table that is.

Currently I'm doing this the slightly roundabout way over in this script by for-looping through that part of the json, increase the index and then call on the table that way. It may not be the prettiest way of going about it, but it does work :P. It would be very useful for someone like me if there was a more general and robust function for this in a CRAN-package. Such a function could either exist in a package like glottospace, or for example in Simon's rcldf.

Sorry, my bad! rcldf::cldf() does do this!!

As exemplified by a script I already wrote.. I'm a dum-dum.

Anyway, it'd be great if glottoget used a similar approach to rcldf::cldf(), or even just called on rcldf.
