This repository contains scripts to create the b3data frictionless data package. This data package includes data resources used across the b3verse and is published on Zenodo. <!-- description: end -->

This code is developed in context of T5.5 of the B-Cubed project.

Order of execution

Follow the steps below to run the scripts in a logical order.

1. create_b3data_package.Rmd

• creates the data package
• adds tabular resources
• writes data package

2. add_spatial_resources.Rmd

• loads data package
• adds spatial resources
• writes data package

📦 The b3data data package

• Name: b3data
• Published at:
• Used in: b3verse
• Importable in R via: frictionless R package

Resources can be imported in R like this:

Step 1 — Load the frictionless R package

``` r

install.packages("frictionless")

library(frictionless) ```

Step 2 — Read the package descriptor from Zenodo

The content of the data package can be consulted using read_package().

``` r b3datapackage <- readpackage("https://zenodo.org/records/15211029/files/datapackage.json") b3data_package

> A Data Package with 2 resources:

> • birdcubebelgium_mgrs10

> • mgrs10refgridbelgium

> For more information, see https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15211029.

> Use unclass() to print the Data Package as a list.

```

Step 3 — Import a resource (dataset)

Tabular datasets can be loaded using read_resource().

``` r birdcubebelgium <- readresource(b3datapackage, "birdcubebelgiummgrs10") head(birdcube_belgium)

> # ℹ abbreviated name: ¹​mincoordinateuncertaintyinmeters

> # ℹ 1 more variable: familycount

```

For non-tabular resources (e.g. spatial or raster data), use packages like sf or terra directly.

``` r mgrs10belgium <- sf::stread( "https://zenodo.org/records/15211029/files/mgrs10refgridbelgium.gpkg", quiet = TRUE) head(mgrs10_belgium)

> Simple feature collection with 6 features and 1 field
