build_descriptor(path, data_id, bibtex = NULL, preview = NULL)

Arguments

path

Directory where to write metadata record.

data_id

Dataset unique identifier.

bibtex

Path to bibtex with dataset references. Optional.

preview

Path to preview image.

Value

A Rmarkdown file that can be fed into the MAS data catalog. Optional.

Details

The function creates a directory in the specified path named as the data_id. Within it, you will find a yaml file where you can manually edit the metadata for the new record. If a bibtex and/or a preview image are provided, the function will copy them into the new directory after testing their validity. Once filled, the yaml file can be compiled into a metadata record using compile_metadata.
