BIOM (Biological Observation Matrix) is a simple prescription for storing an annotated table of data. It may be described as a format, standard, or data structure.
The JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) standard for expressing general data objects as text is employed to define BIOM. Therefore the native form of BIOM data is structured text, conforming to the JSON specification in general and the BIOM specification in particular. Familiarity with BIOM is assumed here.
The S3 class codebiom and its methods facilitate analyses by expressing BIOM data as objects in the R environment. These manipulations of two-dimensional (matrix) data are sometimes handy when working with BIOM data. The sparse format used by BIOM is conventional, but see the reference for exact details.
All names()
and dimnames()
are removed.
sparse2dense()
and dense2sparse()
return a matrix
.
matrix2list()
returns a list of the rows of x
.
Like R these functions begin indices at 1, whereas BIOM counts from 0, so adjust if necessary.
