creator: Get/set the Creator of the object.

In dataset: Create Data Frames that are Easier to Exchange and Reuse

Get/set the Creator of the object.

Description

Add the optional Creator property as an attribute to a dataset object.

Usage

creator(x)

creator(x, overwrite = TRUE) <- value

Arguments

x	A semantically rich data frame object created by dataset::dataset_df or dataset::as_dataset_df.
overwrite	If the attributes should be overwritten. In case it is set to FALSE, it gives a message with the current Creator property instead of overwriting it. Defaults to TRUE when the attribute is set to value regardless of previous setting.
value	The Creator as a utils::person object.

Details

The Creator corresponds to dct:creator in Dublin Core and Creator in DataCite. The name of the entity that holds, archives, publishes prints, distributes, releases, issues, or produces the dataset. This property will be used to formulate the citation, so consider the prominence of the role.

Value

The Creator attribute as a character of length one is added to x.
