Overview

About

Maintained by Daniel AntalFirst published 2026-07-062 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides a provenance-aware framework for contextual reconstruction from file systems and related digital resource collections. The package creates reproducible snapshots of file-level metadata, paths, repository context, and optional content signatures. It supports contextual grouping, structural abstraction, temporal analysis, semantic stabilization, duplicate and reuse detection, and lightweight workflow reconstruction from file system observations. The framework deliberately separates observational evidence, contextual abstraction, semantic interpretation, and analytical reconstruction, enabling reproducible workflows that can be inspected by reviewers. It is designed to support future alignment with archival and contextual knowledge representation models, including the World Wide Web Consortium Provenance Ontology (PROV-O): Lebo et al. (2013) https://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/ and Records in Contexts developed by the International Council on Archives Expert Group on Archival Description (EGAD) https://www.ica.org/ica-network/expert-groups/egad/records-in-contexts-ric/.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-fscontext

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-fscontext

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-fscontext

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
