Entering new Metadata
To enter new data to the dmdScheme, you have to run the command
This will open Excel and the file should look similar to this, when looking at the second tab:
The following points are important to remember:
- The file is saved in a temporary directory. It needs to be saved at a different location, if you want to keep the changes.
- Data can only be entered in the green cells with. All other cells are write protected.
After entering the data, save it to a location for further processing.
Importing Data from Excel Sheet
Next, you have to import the data entered in the Excel sheet into R. For simplicity, we use here a file included in the package. If you want to load your own file, replace scheme_path_xlsx() with the file name and path to that file.

file = scheme_path_xlsx(),

Converting Metadata to xml
You can export the data to an an xml_document object as defined in the xml2 package to do further processing:
x <- read_excel( scheme_path_xlsx() )
xml <- as_xml( x, file = xmlFile)
xml
#> {xml_document}
#> <dmdScheme fileName="dmdScheme_0.9.5.xlsx" dmdSchemeName="dmdScheme" dmdSchemeVersion="0.9.5" propertyName="dmdScheme" output="metadata">
#> [1] <ExperimentList>\n <Experiment>\n <name>ASR-expt1</name>\n <temper ...
#> [2] <GenusList>\n <Genus speciesID="tt_1">\n <speciesID>tt_1</speciesID>\ ...

#> [5] <DataExtractionList>\n <DataExtraction dataExtractionID="Mol_Analy_pipel ...
#> [6] <DataFileMetaDataList>\n <DataFileMetaData>\n <dataFileName>dissolved ...You can save the xml to a file by using
or directly in one command
Re-import from xml into R
x <- read_xml( xmlFile )
