Obtain the information about the Research Topics of ILTER sites.

Source: R/get_ilter_research_topics.R
get_ilter_research_topics.Rd

[Defunct] This function was defunct because the section about research topics of the site in DEIMS-SDR API version 1.1 has been removed.

This function obtains Research Topics as collected by all ILTER sites (more than 1200 around the world), as stored in DEIMS-SDR. Note that the execution time for this function is very high.

If the objective is to obtain information about Research Topics from a few sites, it is better to use other more specific functions (e.g. get_network_research_topics() or get_site_info()) or using other methods (How to about sites informations).

Usage

get_ilter_research_topics(sitesNum = NULL)

Arguments

sitesNum

A integer. It is the number of the sites that are read to get the information. Use this parameter only to get an example of the output of this function. If the value of sitesNum is 0 (default) all the ILTER sites will be parsed and the waiting time will be long.

Value

The output of the function is a tibble containing the research topics and their URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of all ILTER sites.
