[open-science] release of DataONE R Client packages

[Matt Jones]

The DataONE team is happy to announce the release of the first version of
the DataONE R Client, our package for accessing open data in DataONE from
within the R environment for statistical computing.  The DataONE R Client
provides the ability to access open ecological, environmental, and earth
science data from the DataONE network of repositories, and to save data
from within R to DataONE repositories that support write access.  Because
data are accessed via their published, unique identifiers (rather than a
local file path), R scripts can be written to be portable across different
users, and thus can be more effectively published themselves.

More details, downloads, and documentation:

The DataONE R Client is released as an open source package under the Apache
2.0 license, and we welcome contributions.  Please contact us at
developers at dataone.org with feedback, contributions, and questions.
