pointsAtSea: Separate occurrences on Earth and at sea

In alarconvv/geocleaMT: A Package to Clean/Test Georeferenced Data

Description

Delete duplicates, separating records on Earth and at sea for each species.

Usage

pointsAtSea(data = NULL, path = NULL, rd.frmt = "readRDS",
  wrt.frmt = "saveRDS", save.OnEarth.in = NULL, save.AtSea.in = NULL)

Arguments

data	Vector of characters. Name of the input file.
path	Vector of characters. Path to the input file.
rd.frmt	Vector of characters. The file format to read. By default it will be read as a R object using the 'readRDS' argument, but it can be read as plain text using the 'readTXT' argument. See details.
wrt.frmt	Vector of characters. Format to save output file. By default it will be written as a R object using 'saveRDS' argument, but it can be saved as plain text using 'saveTXT' argument. See details.
save.OnEarth.in	Vector of characters. Path to the output file for each species with the coordinates on earth.
save.AtSea.in	Vector of characters. Path to the output file for each species with the coordinates at sea.

Details

For more details about the formats to read and/or write, see readAndWrite function.

The headers of the input file must follow the Darwin Core standard [1]. The user can see the guide using data('ID_DarwinCore) command.

Value

By each species, if this is the case, two output files data.frame class: The first one has the coordinates at sea for the species and the second one has the coordinates on earth for the same species.
