abstract: The Darwin Core data standard is widely used to share biodiversity information,
  most notably by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility and its partner nodes;
  but converting data to this standard can be tricky. 'galaxias' is functionally similar
  to 'devtools', but with a focus on building Darwin Core Archives rather than R packages,
  enabling data to be shared and re-used with relative ease. For details see Wieczorek
  and colleagues (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0029715>.
