initializeGBIFdnaDerivedData(
  objectData,
  idColumnInfo,
  nameAutoMap = FALSE,
  defDateFormat = "YYYY-MM-DD",
  ...
)

`objectData`	A `data.frame` containing the data to import into the object
`idColumnInfo`	Either a `character` scalar containing the column name of `objectData` or an `integer` scalar giving the index of the column of `objectData` that corresponds to the ID variable. Alternatively, this parameter may be the qualified name of the Darwin core term for which the appropriately mapped column will be used as the ID variable (the possible Darwin core term names can be found by running `names(getGBIFdnaDerivedDataMembers())`)
`nameAutoMap`	A `logical` scalar that if `TRUE` maps the columns of `objectData` to their respective Darwin core terms based on the column names
`defDateFormat`	A `character` scalar providing the default format for strings denoting dates in the data table. See the https://dwc.tdwg.org/text/#1-introductionDarwin Core text guide for expected values for this string.
`...`	A named set of paramaeters corresponding to Darwin core terms associated with the GBIFdnaDerivedData class type. Each is either a `character` scalar containing the column name of `objectData` or an `integer` scalar giving the index of the column of `objectData` that corresponds to the term. Mappable terms can be found using: `sapply(X = getGBIFdnaDerivedDataMembers(), FUN = function(curTerm) { curTerm$getTermName() })`
