Download data from the Movebank Data Repository

Description

Download data from the Movebank Data Repository via DOI

Usage

getDataRepositoryData(x, ...)

Arguments

x	character string of the DOI of data stored on the Movebank Data Repository
...	Currently not used

Details

This function downloads data stored in the Movebank Data Repository via the DOI. The output is MoveStack object containing the location data from all available sensors in the study. The non-location senor data are stored in the UnUsedRecords slots. Datasets without location data are excluded.

If duplicated timestamps are present in the data, the first one is chosen by default. To use a more informed approach you can download the data of interest from the Movebank Data Repository, read it in with read.csv and use the function getDuplicatedTimestamps to located the duplicated timestamps and then decide which one to keep. And then use the function move to create a Move or MoveStack object from the cleaned .csv file.

Value

move or moveStack object
