Run this function before MapMetadata.
This function will read in the metadata file for a chosen dataset and save
three summary outputs. The first is a table output, storing the name and
description of the dataset, and each table within it. The second is a bar
chart, summarising how many variables there are for each table, and whether
these variables have a missing description. The third is a csv file storing
the data that created this bar chart.
Usage
browseMetadata(json_file = NULL, output_dir = NULL)
Arguments
- json_file
The metadata file. This should be a json download from the
metadata catalogue. By default, the .json file within 'inst/inputs' is used.
- output_dir
The path to the directory where the three output files
will be saved. By default, the current working directory is used.
Value
The function will return three files, 'BROWSE_table...html',
'BROWSE_bar...html' and 'BROWSE_bar...csv' which gives summary information
for this dataset. Open the two html output files in your browser and use
these as reference when running the MapMetadata function.
