data_citation {VicmapR}

Layer Metadata

Description

formatted metadata attributes of a given vicmap layer (vicmap_query(layer)). Metadata is retrieved from the Vicmap catalogue. data_citation() prints a BibTex style citation for a given record; similar to base::citation(). data_dictionary() returns a table with names, types and descriptions of the data within the selected layer (see details). get_metdata() returns a list with three elements, containing metadata, the data dictionary and the url of the metadata for the record.

data_dictionary(x = NULL, metadataID = NULL)

get_metadata(x = NULL, metadataID = NULL)

Arguments
