R package to add: `kewr`

barnabywalker opened this issue · comments

Hi,

I just watched great @emilio-berti 's talk at TDWG 2021!

Would it be possible to add an R package I've put together? It's an R wrapper for Kew's data resources, called kewr. It links to IPNI, WCVP (which I don't think you have any entries for at the moment?), and POWO.

Many thanks,
Baz

Hi @barnabywalker,
Thank you for your suggestion!

Indeed, kewr would be a great addition. We currently only have taxizeaccessing POWO but no packages accessining WCVP.

I would love to setup a regular search of packages on GitHub/CRAN/Bioconductor that deal with taxonomy/taxonomic information, than manually curate them to update our database.

It will be added in the next update of this repository :)

That's fantastic, thank you!

Done for the revised version!
