survey: Surveys

In quommit/settle: Builds graph data structures from documents with spatial semantics

Description

survey is a constructor function that generates an instance of a survey object from an structured text document that collects spatially related observations.

Usage

survey(filename)

Arguments

filename

Path to a structured text document in one of the supported formats.

Details

A survey is a collection of spatially related observations or records that conform to a structure or schema (e.g. landholder-plot-neighbour) for which the settle package provides a suitable reader. A survey object is useful to explore spatial semantics within the collection in order to spatially aggreggate data, plot neighbouring items or identify and locate clusters.

Value

A survey object or an error in case path is invalid or format/schema is not supported.

Supported text formats

Currently the only supported format is YAML.

Supported schemas

The only implemented reader is LPNschema_reader, which can parse documents with a landholder-plot-neighbour schema.
