Standardize political division names
Description
GNRS returns standardized political division names (according to geonames.org).
Usage
GNRS(political_division_dataframe, batches = NULL, ...)
Arguments
political_division_dataframe |
A properly formatted dataframe, see http://bien.nceas.ucsb.edu/bien/tools/gnrs/gnrs-api/ |
batches |
NULL or Numeric. Optional number of batches to divide the request into for parallel processing. |
... |
Additional parameters passed to internal functions |
Value
Dataframe containing GNRS results.
Note
To create an empty and properly formatted dataframe, use GNRS_template()
The fields the GNRS takes as input are titled "country", "state_province", and "county_parish" for simplicity, but these field actually refer to 0th-, 1st-, and 2nd-order political division, respectively. In the case of some exceptions (e.g. the UK) this distinction becomes important (e.g. Ireland is a 1st-order political division and should be treated as a "state_province" and cannot be matched as a country.)

results <- GNRS(political_division_dataframe = gnrs_testfile)
