A simple rmm
object is a list object that is structured
to contain metadata pertaining to species range models. Here we make an
empty rmm
object containing only the obligate set of
fields.

A more complex rmm
object with all predefined fields. It
may seem like a lot at first, but we’re trying to keep you all happy,
and many of these won’t be needed. For example, you’ll only be using one
modeling algorithm, so you’ll only be selecting one of the fields below
under $model
. Or, you may not use five different methods
for cleaning geographic issues with your data under
$dataPrep$geographic
and so you’ll end up omitting many of
those fields. As we explore the hierarchy below, it’ll seem simpler…

rmm
objects can be populated manually by entering data
directly into the fields (see
vignette('rmm_Multispecies',package='rangeModelMetadata')
),
or through the use of several helper functions. Although the
rmm
object template already contains a number of fields
that depend on the specified family
(see options with
rmmFamilies()
), users can also add new fields as needed. We
provide suggestions of both common fields to add and common values for
many fields.
Not sure which fields are available or what values to enter? We can suggest options.

Here, it may help to learn the two pieces of unavoidable jargon we
use: * A field describes levels of the hierarchy. E.g.,
dataPrep
is field 1, errors
is field 2 and
duplicateRemoval
is field 3. * An entity
is described by a complete set of fields and has a
particular value. In the example above
'dataPrep$errors$duplicateRemoval$rule
is an entity, and it
can take one of the four suggested values: “Environmental duplicates”
“coordinate duplicates”, “other (specify in Notes)”, “NA”.
Note above, that when you ask for suggestions for a field (the first three lines), you get suggestions of the relevant fields to consider. But the last line refers to to the lowest level in the hierarchy, an entity and so values are suggested.

To make it easier to fill some rmm
fields, we provide
autofill functions that extract relevant information from common R
objects used in a range modeling workflow.
rmm <- rmmTemplate()
rmm <- rmmAutofillPackageCitation(rmm,c('terra','sf'))
# search GBIF for occurrence data to demonstrate the autofill function
bv <- spocc::occ('Bradypus variegatus', 'gbif', limit=50, has_coords=TRUE)
rmm <- rmmAutofillspocc(rmm,bv$gbif)
# get some env layers to demonstrate the autofill function
rasterFiles <- list.files(path=paste(system.file(package='dismo'), '/ex', sep=''),
pattern='grd', full.names=TRUE)
# make a stack of the rasters
env <- terra::rast(rasterFiles)
rmm <- rmmAutofillEnvironment(rmm,env,transfer=0) # for fitting environment
# just using the same rasters for demonstration; in practice these are different
rmm <- rmmAutofillEnvironment(rmm,env,transfer=1) # for transfer environment 1
rmm <- rmmAutofillEnvironment(rmm,env,transfer=2) # for transfer environment 2

## ===================================
##
## ===================================
To check the field names in your object, use
rmmNameCheck
# Make an empty template
rmm1 <- rmmTemplate()
# Add a new, non-standard field
rmm1$dataPrep$biological$taxonomicHarmonization$taxonomy_source <- "The Plant List" # # Checking the names identifies the new, non-standard field we've added ("taxonomy_source")
rmm1 <- rmmCheckName(rmm1)
## The following names are not similar to any suggested names, please verify that these are accurate:
## $dataPrep$biological$taxonomicHarmonization$taxonomy_source
##
##
This check identifies the entity
$dataPrep$biological$taxonomicHarmonization$taxonomy_source
as non-standard. It’s non-standard because it’s not an entity in the
data dictionary, and I just added it. That’s not a violation or anything
bad, this check just let’s you know it’s there. This check can be useful
to detect misspellings of standardized field names too.
To check the field values in your rmm object, use the function
rmmValueCheck
#First, we create an empty rmm template
rmm1 <- rmmTemplate()
#We add 3 of the bioclim layers, including a spelling error (an extra space) in bio2, and a word that is clearly not a climate layer, 'cromulent'.
rmm1$data$environment$variableNames <- c("bio1", "bio 2", "bio3", "cromulent")
#Now, when we check the values, we see that bio1 and bio2 are reported as exact matches, while 'bio 2' is flagged as a partial match with a suggested value of 'bio2', and 'cromulent' is flagged as not matched at all.
rmmCheckValue(rmm = rmm1)
##
## ==========================================
## For the field rmm$data$environment$variableNames
##
##
## The following entries appear accurate:
##
## bio1; bio3
##
##
## The following entries are similar to suggested values, please verify:
## bio 2
##
##
## Suggested alternatives include:
## bio2
##
##
## The following entries are not similar to any suggested values, please verify that these are accurate:
## cromulent
##
##
#If we'd like to return a dataframe containing this information in a perhaps more useful format:
rmmCheckValueOutput <- rmmCheckValue(rmm = rmm1, returnData = TRUE)
##
## ==========================================
## For the field rmm$data$environment$variableNames
##
##
## The following entries appear accurate:
##
## bio1; bio3
##
##
## The following entries are similar to suggested values, please verify:
## bio 2
##
##
## Suggested alternatives include:
## bio2
##
##
## The following entries are not similar to any suggested values, please verify that these are accurate:
## cromulent
##
##
These ‘check’ functions work by comparing the values or field names
within an rmm
object to those in a data dictionary. These
functions are designed to check for non-standard values and names, and
DO NOT necessarily identify correct vs. incorrect values/names.
Non-standard values may be perfectly valid, or they may be erroneous,
and the user will have to make this distinction.
To run all the available checks at once, we’ll check the object that we filled in a few chunks back.

To make rmm
objects portable to other interfaces, they
are readily written to csv format.
It can be helpful to simply view the data dictionary:
## 'data.frame': 254 obs. of 10 variables:

## $ field2 : chr NA NA NA NA ...
## $ field3 : chr NA NA NA NA ...
## $ entity : chr "rmmName" "names" "license" "contact" ...
## $ class : chr "character" "character vector" "character" "character" ...
## $ taxonSpecific : chr "no" "no" "no" "no" ...
## $ constrainedValues: chr "NULL" "NULL" "CC; CC BY; CC BY-SA; CC BY-ND; CC BY-NC; CC BY-NC-SA; CC BY-NC-ND; other" "NULL" ...
