validate_templates: Validate metadata template content

In EDIorg/emlAssemblyLine: A tool kit for building EML metadata workflows

Validate metadata template content

Description

Validate metadata template content

Usage

validate_templates(fun.name, x)

Arguments

fun.name	(character) Name calling function.
x	(named list) The data and metadata object returned by template_arguments().

Details

Each template has a unique set of metadata providing valuable information about corresponding data objects. This function checks for metadata content according to metadata best practices and the needs of downstream processes in the EMLassemblyline. Each set of checks is applied within the scope of the calling function (i.e. fun.name), which each has a unique set of needs and constraints. If the needs of down stream processes are not met, then the template content is modified and a message returned to the user.

All issues are compiled into a single report and returned to the user with a warning. This approach of not "failing fast" allows the user to address several issues at once.

Value

template_issues

Any issues found in the validation process and returned as a character vector. This object can be saved for later use and viewed in a human readable form with issues()
