In BiocPkgTools: Collection of simple tools for learning about Bioc Packages

BiocPkgTools

Bioconductor has a rich ecosystem of metadata around packages, usage, and build status. This package is a simple collection of functions to access that metadata from R in a tidy data format. The goal is to expose metadata for data mining and value-added functionality such as package searching, text mining, and analytics on packages.

Functionality includes access to computable versions of:

• Download statistics
• Detailed package information
• Package dependendencies (and reverse dependencies)
• Package BiocViews categories
• Build reports
• Vignettes (including examples of text mining)
