finbif v0.6.0
NEW FEATURES
-
New variables
lat_euref
andlon_euref
available for occurrence
record downloads. These new variables represent the central point of
a bounding box encompassing a record's geographic coverage in the
EUREF (ETRS89/ETRS-TM35FIN) coordinate system. -
Option now available to retain the TSV data file when loading FinBIF
occurrence data withfinbif_occurrence_load
from ZIP archive or
online reference. -
Option now available to extract "facts" when using
finbif_occurrence_load
to import records from a ZIP archive. The
user must supply a named list, where the names refer to one or more
fact types: "record", "event" and/or "document", and the list
elements are character vectors indicating which "facts" to extract. -
"Lite" download files (occurrence record datasets of less than
10,000 records downloaded directly from laji.fi) can now be imported
usingfinbif_occurrence_load
. -
New filters (currently undocumented)
ely_center_id
andregion_id
are available forfinbif_occurrence
. -
New function,
from_schema
, to convert variable names from FinBIF
schema to other styles. -
New computed variable
date_time_ISO8601
(currently undocumented)
can be selected when creatingfinbif_occ
objects. -
New computed variable
epsg
(currently undocumented). If selected,
the column will have the EPSG code of the first column that contains
geographic data.
MINOR IMPROVEMENTS
-
Can now select all available variables when importing a FinBIF
download request file usingfinbif_occurrence_load
with
select = "all"
. -
New option,
drop_na
, to drop columns that only contain missing
data added tofinbif_occurrence
andfinbif_occurrence
load. -
User can now select columns multiple times and rename them on the
fly by using a named character vector as the value of the 'select'
argument. -
The variable
taxon_rank
is now converted to a string on the fly
viataxon_rank_id
. -
Variables that are computed from their identifiers are now localised
when multiple languages are available.
BUG FIXES
-
Fixed bug that prevented occurrence record counting when caching was
not in use. -
Fixed bug that triggered an error when selected a variable that had
to be computed from its ID when using DWC style variable names.
