In jmcastagnetto/vera: The Dataset "Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms" (VERA)
The VERA dataset
This simple package contains the acronyms and definitions from the VERA list (Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms).
The dataset has been generated using the ASCII version of the list available in https://www.ohei2.de/vera/vueber-e.html. That list was created and is maintained by Oliver Heidelbach.
The latest version of the ASCII VERA list at this time is dated 2016-10-31.
Installation
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jmcastagnetto/vera")
Use
I added a simple function to retrieve the definitions of an acronym. It is very simple-minded and if there is no match, the returned dataframe is empty.
> library(vera)
> get_definitions("RFP")$definition
[1] "Request for Package (Linux, Debian)"
[2] "Request For Proposal (Internet)"
> get_definitions("dag") # strings are always uppercased
acronym definition
2327 DAG DatenAnschaltGerÃĪt
2328 DAG Directed Acyclic Graph (NVSG)
Motivation
Made this package to start grokking how to do this in R. Also, the article on creating a data package by Erik Howard "How to Create an R Data Package " was very helpful.
