R objects in datasets
The datasets inside packages are read from their data/ folders when the code is analysed. Each object is described by its class, its shape and its columns, and fingerprinted so the same data can be found in other packages.
- Loadable only
- Only objects that load by name with data() are listed, 76,136 on CRAN and 8,045 on Bioconductor, so the list is not every file in data/.
ColumnsTables open to their columns, and each kind of column has figures of its own.FingerprintEach object's values are fingerprinted, so the same data in another package is found whatever its name. On CRAN 8,317 datasets hold data that is also in another package, 4,095 distinct pieces of data in all.The whole note
