Description

Along with Python, R is used by many scientists in our wider user community (at EIS and MAAP) to analyze Earth data.

To help these users make use of VEDA resources, our documentation should offer some of the same essential instructions as it has for Python, e.g. for loading data from the VEDA data store.

Acceptance criteria

  • Described (here or in a document) a few examples of what some of our users do with R
  • Added a few instructional examples for R to our documentation

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Python instructions in the documentation and identify the essential VEDA data-store workflow they cover. Add comparable R examples, including a few representative Earth-data use cases, and confirm that both acceptance criteria are addressed.
