SNSFdatasets

Functions for downloading data from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF, FNS, SNSF). The package is lightweight and without dependencies. Downloaded data can optionally be cached, to avoid repeated downloads of the same files. There are also utilities for comparing different versions of datasets, i.e. to report added, removed and changed entries.

Installation

To install the package from a running R session, type:

install.packages('SNSFdatasets',
                 repos = c('http://enricoschumann.net/R',
                           getOption('repos')))

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
