Welcome to the Summer Meeting for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)! The 2017 theme is Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities. The theme is based on one of the goals in the 2015 - 2020 ESIP Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for ESIP’s activities over the next three years.
In this session, we will demonstrate how to use the R Package for EML generation (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/EML/index.html). Data managers at the Environmental Data Initiative have been using this package extensively and we have a number example R scripts available in our developing git repository (https://github.com/EDIorg/EMLtools). Participants will be shown how to use github from within R Studio and can eventually share their R scripts via the Information Management Code library. Everyone is encouraged to bring laptops and follow along. R Studio needs to be installed and a basic level of R experience is expected.
The IM Code Repository is the subject of the session “Developing the Information Management Code Repository” at this meeting.
