set_contact: Set contact information for a new record.

In neotoma2: Working with the Neotoma Paleoecology Database

Set contact information for a new record.

Description

Create a new contact for a record. Within Neotoma all chronologies have unique numeric identifiers. Within R, because of the need to use the indentifiers across objects, and because we want to avoid conflicts between naming systems, a universally unique identifier (UUID) is created for the object ID.This is not to be updated to the database.

  x = NA,
