EDI Update - January 2022

How Fair are our Data? Find out in our Feb 15th webinar.
We introduce criteria for evaluating data and metadata regarding their "FAIRness" and discuss how they may be applied in EDI. The criteria were developed by DataONE<https://www.dataone.org/>. FAIR - findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable<https://bit.ly/3o3vbw6> is a framework for communicating quality of metadata.

EDIutils includes functions to search and access existing data in the EDI data repository, evaluate and upload new data, and assist with related data management tasks. The package has undergone a major refactor for submission to rOpenSci<https://ropensci.org/> and CRAN<https://cran.r-project.org/>.
