Dataset 999 (example)

(EXAMPLE - All template text in this README file can be replaced with your own, but general guidelines are given.)

Description

(Describe the dataset in general terms here)

This is an example dataset directory for use with an LTER Metabase and jerald.

Metadata sources

(Describe the sources of the metadata in this package. What came from EML files on EDI, researchers, research site archives, and other places?)

Metadata templates and other metadata source files are placed in the metadata_docs/ directory.

The abstract and methods text files referred to in the Metabase (abstract.999.md and methods.999.md) should be kept in the parent directory and can be updated there. Otherwise, the Metabase is the primary store of metadata for building EML files, and all changes should be made there.

Data table sources

(Describe the source of the data entities published with this dataset. Where did raw data, published CSVs, or other files come from? Will new data be added, and if so, how?).

Raw data and other source data files are found in the source_data/ directory.

The raw data file in the example dataset (mtcars.csv) comes from R's built in mtcars dataset.

Other entities

(Describe any other entities included in the data package, such as maps, procedures, documents, non-tabular data files, etc.)

Build scripts

The build scripts here prepare the data and metadata for publication using various R packages. The resulting EML and data entities may be published using the scripts, or manually using the EDI portal.

How to make EML and publish the dataset
