Description

Usage

set_taxonomicCoverage(sci_names)

Arguments

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
