Arguments

MyEOL

A single EOL file or R object

MyEOLs

A vector of filenames or a list of XMLs for downloaded EOL pages

verbose

An optional print statement while combining

Value

GatherDataObjectInformation will return information from one single EOL file all of the data objects and their associated accession info. CombineDataObjectInformation will combine the data gathered singly into a huge matrix. Printing the results from either of these functions may hang up R or cause memory issues, so it isnt recommended (though you can pull of pieces of it). DataObjectOverview returns a data frame where each row is a single taxon and columns are a type of data object.
