implicit_guide.factor: Coerce Factor Guide to Something More Implicit

In yamlet: Versatile Curation of Table Metadata

Coerce Factor Guide to Something More Implicit

Description

Coerces factor guide-like attributes to 'guide'. The attribute 'guide' generally suggests a guide to interpretation of a data item, such as units, formats, codelists, and encodings. The idea here is to replace these with 'guide': i.e., to undo the effects of explicit_guide.dvec. If guide attribute is still present, the explicit attribute is removed. Otherwise the explicit element is renamed.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'factor'
implicit_guide(x, ...)

Arguments

x	factor
...	ignored

Value

factor
