Examples

#First, make an empty rmm object:
rmm <- rmmTemplate()
#Next, we check for emtpy fields:
empties1 <- rmmCheckEmpty(rmm = rmm)
#If looks like there are quite a few empty obligate fields.  Let's populate a few:
rmm$data$occurrence$taxon <- "Acer rubrum"
rmm$data$environment$variableNames <- "Bio1"
#Now, if we run rmmCheckEmpty again, we see there are 2 fewer empty, obligate fields
empties2 <- rmmCheckEmpty(rmm = rmm)
