## set_taxonomicCoverage

### Description

set_taxonomicCoverage

### Usage

    set_taxonomicCoverage(sci_names)

### Arguments

`sci_names` | string (space seperated) or list or data frame of scientific names for species covered.

### Details

Turn a data.frame or a list of scientific names into a taxonomicCoverage block sci_names can be a space-separated character string or a data frame with column names as rank name or a list of user-defined taxonomicClassification

### Value

a taxonomicCoverage object for EML

### Note

If "sci_names" is a data frame, column names of the data frame are rank names. For user-defined "sci_names", users must make sure that the order of rank names they specify is from high to low. Ex. "Kingdom","Phylum","Class","Order","Family","Genus","Species","Common"

### Examples

    taxon_coverage <-
     set_taxonomicCoverage(list(KINGDOM="Plantae",
                                PHYLUM="Phaeophyta",
                                CLASS="Phaeophyceae",
                                ORDER="Laminariales",
                                FAMILY="Lessoniaceae",
                                GENUS="Macrocystis",
                                genusSpecies="Macrocystis pyrifera",
                                commonName="MAPY"))

    df <- data.frame(KINGDOM="Plantae",
                     PHYLUM="Phaeophyta",
                     CLASS="Phaeophyceae",
