Installing obistools
requires the devtools
package:
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("iobis/obistools")
match_taxa()
performs interactive taxon matching with the World Register of Marine Species.
names <- c("Abra alva", "Buccinum fusiforme", "Buccinum fusiforme", "Buccinum fusiforme", "hlqsdkf")
match_taxa(names)
3 names, 1 without matches, 1 with multiple matches

check_fields()
will check if all OBIS required fields are present in an occurrence table and if any values are missing.
data <- data.frame(
occurrenceID = c("1", "2", "3"),
scientificName = c("Abra alba", NA, ""),
locality = c("North Sea", "English Channel", "Flemish Banks"),
minimumDepthInMeters = c("10", "", "5")
)
check_fields(data)
This function returns a dataframe of errors (if any):
field level message row

plot_map()
will generate a ggplot2
map of occurrence records, plot_map_leaflet()
creates a Leaflet map.
plot_map(abra, zoom = TRUE)
plot_map_leaflet(abra)
Use identify_map()
to identify points on a ggplot2
map. This function will return the record closest to where the mouse was clicked.

check_depth
uses the xylookup web service to identify which records have potentially invalid depths. Multiple checks are performed in this function:
- missing depth column (warning)
- empty depth column (warning)
- depth values that can't be converted to numbers (error)
- values that are larger than the depth value in the bathymetry layer, after applying the provided depthmargin (error)
- depth values that are negative for off shore points, after applying the provided shoremargin (error)
- minimum depth greater than maximum depth (error)
