Package: FedData
Type: Package
Title: Functions to Automate Downloading Geospatial Data Available from Several Federated Data Sources

Description: Functions to automate downloading geospatial data available from several federated data sources (mainly sources maintained by the US Federal government). Currently, the package allows for retrieval of five datasets: The National Elevation Dataset digital elevation models (1 and 1/3 arc-second; USGS); The National Hydrography Dataset (USGS); The Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) database from the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS), which is led by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the USDA; the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN), coordinated by National Climatic Data Center at NOAA; and the International Tree Ring Data Bank. Additional data sources are in the works, including global DEM resources (ETOPO1, ETOPO5, ETOPO30, SRTM), global soils (HWSD), MODIS satellite data products, the National Atlas (US), Natural Earth, PRISM, and WorldClim.

• 1. URL for the package (the development repository, not a stylized html page)

https://github.com/bocinsky/FedData

• 1. What data source(s) does it work with (if applicable)?

The National Elevation Dataset (USGS), National Hydrography Dataset (USGS), SSURGO soils database (USGS), Global Historical Climatology Network (NOAA), and the International Tree Ring Databank (NOAA).

• 1. Who is the target audience?

Researchers, government employees/land-managers, and anyone else interested in accessing these databases.

• 1. Check the box next to each policy below, confirming that you agree. These are mandatory.
• This package does not violate the Terms of Service of any service it interacts with.
• [?] The repository has continuous integration with Travis and/or another service
• [?] The package contains a vignette
• The package contains a reasonably complete readme with devtools install instructions
• [?] The package contains unit tests
• 1. Do you agree to follow the rOpenSci packaging guidelines? These aren't mandatory, but we strongly suggest you follow them. If you disagree with anything, please explain.
• [...] Are there any package dependencies not on CRAN?
  Two not on CRAN, but available from http://www.omegahat.org/R.
• [YES] Do you intend for this package to go on CRAN?
• [YES] Does the package have a CRAN accepted license?
• [NO] Did devtools::check() produce any errors or warnings? If so paste them below.

I'm a fairly novice programmer, so [as far as I know] I don't use Travis CI or unit tests. I've not yet written a vignette (it's on my to-do list).

• 1. If this is a resubmission following rejection, please explain the change in cirucmstances.

I think others have suggested FedData to rOpenSci, but the latest version is far more stable and platform-agnostic.
