Overview

About

Maintained by Emmanuel BlondelFirst published 2017-05-2521 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides facilities to read, write and validate geographic metadata defined with ISO TC211 / OGC ISO geographic information metadata standards, and encoded using the ISO 19139 and ISO 19115-3 (XML) standard technical specifications. This includes ISO 19110 (Feature cataloguing), 19115 (dataset metadata), 19119 (service metadata) and 19136 (GML). Other interoperable schemas from the OGC are progressively supported as well, such as the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) Common Data Model, the OGC GML Coverage Implementation Schema (GMLCOV), or the OGC GML Referenceable Grid (GMLRGRID).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("geometa", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("eblondel/geometa")

Development version from eblondel/geometa. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-geometa

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-geometa

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-geometa

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