dataset: Create Data Frames for Exchange and Reuse

The 'dataset' package extends tidy data frames with machine-readable metadata, semantic definitions, and provenance information. It supports incremental semantic stabilization, interoperable dataset exchange, and FAIR-oriented publication workflows by preserving contextual metadata directly within R objects. The package facilitates the creation, exchange, reuse, and RDF serialization of datasets in line with ISO and W3C standards.
