galah - Biodiversity Data from the GBIF Node Network
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility ('GBIF', <https://www.gbif.org>) sources data from an international network of data providers, known as 'nodes'. Several of these nodes - the "living atlases" (<https://living-atlases.gbif.org>) - maintain their own web services using software originally developed by the Atlas of Living Australia ('ALA', <https://www.ala.org.au>). 'galah' enables the R community to directly access data and resources hosted by 'GBIF' and its partner nodes.

galaxias - Describe, Package, and Share Biodiversity Data
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) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0029715>.

corella - Prepare, Manipulate and Check Data to Comply with Darwin Core Standard
Helps users standardise data to the Darwin Core Standard, a global data standard to store, document, and share biodiversity data like species occurrence records. The package provides tools to manipulate data to conform with, and check validity against, the Darwin Core Standard. Using 'corella' allows users to verify that their data can be used to build 'Darwin Core Archives' using the 'galaxias' package.

potions - Easy Options Management
Store and retrieve data from options() using syntax derived from the 'here' package. 'potions' makes it straightforward to update and retrieve options, either in the workspace or during package development, without overwriting global options.

delma - Convert 'R Markdown' and 'Quarto' Documents to Ecological Metadata Language
Ecological Metadata Language or 'EML' is a long-established format for describing ecological datasets to facilitate sharing and re-use. Because 'EML' is effectively a modified 'xml' schema, however, it is challenging to write and manipulate for non-expert users. 'delma' supports users to write metadata statements in 'R Markdown' or 'Quarto markdown' format, and parse them to 'EML' and (optionally) back again.
