dsROCrate: ‘DataSHIELD’ RO-Crate Governance Functions

Overview

{dsROCrate} provides tools to capture, structure and audit DataSHIELD analyses using the RO-Crate standard. It enables reproducible governance of federated analyses by packaging inputs, outputs, metadata, and audit information into a consistent, portable format.

Key Features

• Create RO-Crates for DataSHIELD workflows
• Capture project metadata, data references and analysis outputs
• Record and audit disclosure control processes
• Support reproducibility and governance in federated environments

Installation

You can install the released version of {dsROCrate} from CRAN with:

install.packages("dsROCrate")

And the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("FederatedMethods/dsROCrate@dev")

Quick Start

# open connection
con <- opalr::opal.login(
  username = "administrator",
  password = "password",
  url = "https://opal-demo.obiba.org"
)

# generate RO-Crate with Five Safes components
crate <- con |>
  # initialise RO-Crate
  dsROCrate::init(project = "CNSIM", tables = "CNSIM1", user = "dsuser") |>
  # extract Five Safes components
  dsROCrate::safe_people() |>
  dsROCrate::safe_project() |>
  dsROCrate::safe_data() |>
  dsROCrate::safe_setting() |>
  dsROCrate::safe_output()

# generate report
dsROCrate::report(crate, title = "DataSHIELD Five Safes report")

Alternatively, the dsROCrate::audit() function can be used to generate an audit with all the Five Safes components:

proj_audit <- opalr::opal.login(
  username = "administrator",
  password = "password",
  url = "https://opal-demo.obiba.org"
) |>
  dsROCrate::audit(project = "CNSIM", tables = "CNSIM1", user = "dsuser")

# generate report
dsROCrate::report(proj_audit, title = "DataSHIELD Safe People - Audit Report")
