glottoget: Get glottodata from local path or online global databases

In SietzeN/glottospace: Language Mapping and Geospatial Analysis of Linguistic and Cultural Data

Get glottodata from local path or online global databases

Description

Load locally stored glottodata, download databases from online sources, or load built-in demo data

Usage

glottoget(
  glottodata = NULL,
  meta = FALSE,
  download = FALSE,
  dirpath = NULL,
  url = NULL,
  seed = NULL
)

Arguments

glottodata	options are: A filepath to locally stored glottodata or glottosubdata with file extension (.xlsx .xls .gpkg .shp). See also: options meta and simplify. "glottobase" - Default option, an spatially enhanced version of glottolog. See glottobooster for details. If glottodata = NULL, "glottobase" will be loaded. "wals" - This is a spatially enhanced version of WALS. "dplace" - This is a spatially enhanced version of D-PLACE. "glottolog" - This is a restructured (non-spatial) version of glottolog. "glottospace" - A simple dataset with glottocodes and a geometry column. This is a subset of all languages in glottolog with spatial coordinates. "grambank" - This is a restructured (non-spatial) version of Grambank. "grambankspace" - This is a restructured (spatially enhanced) version of Grambank. "phoible_raw" - This is a restructured (non-spatial) raw version of PHOIBLE. "phoiblespace_raw" - This is a restructured (spatially enhanced) raw version of PHOIBLE. "phoible" - This is a restructured (non-spatial) randomly sampled version of PHOIBLE. When seed is not provided, it will randomly choose a sample for each duplicated glottocode. "phoiblespace" - This is a (spatially enhanced) randomly sampled version of PHOIBLE. When seed is not provided, it will randomly choose a sample for each duplicated glottocode. "phoible_raw_param_sf" - This returns an sf object of the geographical distribution for all parameter IDs with respect to the raw PHOIBLE. "phoible_param_sf" - This returns an sf object of the geographical distribution for all parameter IDs with respect to a sampled version of PHOIBLE. When seed is not provided, it will randomly choose a sample for each duplicated glottocode. "demodata" - Built-in artificial glottodata (included for demonstration and testing). "demosubdata" - Built-in artificial glottosubdata (included for demonstration and testing) "demosubdata_cnstn" - Built-in artificial glottosubdata (included for demonstration and testing)
meta	In case 'glottodata' is demodata/demosubdata: by default, meta sheets are not loaded. Use meta=TRUE if you want to include them.
download	By default internally stored versions of global databases are used. Specify download = TRUE in case you want to download the latest version from a remote server.
dirpath	Optional, if you want to store a global CLDF dataset in a specific directory, or load it from a specific directory.
url	Zenodo url, something like this: "https://zenodo.org/api/records/3260727"
seed	the seed number when glottoget phoible dataset, if not provided, the glottoget function will randomly choose one language for each duplicated glottocode.

Value

A glottodata or glottosubdata object (a data.frame or list, depending on which glottodata is requested)
