**keywords**: data package; b3verse; frictionless; data cubes
This repository contains scripts to create the b3data
[frictionless](https://docs.ropensci.org/frictionless/) data package.
This data package includes data resources used across the
[b3verse](https://docs.b-cubed.eu/guides/b3verse/) and is published on
[Zenodo](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15181097).
This code is developed in context of **T5.5** of the [B-Cubed
project](https://b-cubed.eu/).
## Order of execution
Follow the steps below to run the scripts in a logical order.
**1.** `create_b3data_package.Rmd`
- creates the data package
- adds tabular resources
- writes data package
**2.** `add_spatial_resources.Rmd`
- loads data package
- adds spatial resources
- writes data package
## 📦 The `b3data` data package
- **Name**: `b3data`
- **Published at**:
[](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15181097)
- **Used in**: [b3verse](https://docs.b-cubed.eu/guides/b3verse/)
- **Importable in R via**:
[frictionless](https://docs.ropensci.org/frictionless/) R package
Resources can be imported in R like this:
### Step 1 — Load the frictionless R package
``` r
# install.packages("frictionless")
library(frictionless)
```
### Step 2 — Read the package descriptor from Zenodo
The content of the data package can be consulted using `read_package()`.
``` r
b3data_package <- read_package("https://zenodo.org/records/15211029/files/datapackage.json")
b3data_package
#> A Data Package with 2 resources:
#> • bird_cube_belgium_mgrs10
#> • mgrs10_refgrid_belgium
#> For more information, see .
#> Use `unclass()` to print the Data Package as a list.
```
### Step 3 — Import a resource (dataset)
Tabular datasets can be loaded using `read_resource()`.
``` r
bird_cube_belgium <- read_resource(b3data_package, "bird_cube_belgium_mgrs10")
head(bird_cube_belgium)
#> # A tibble: 6 × 8
#> year mgrscode specieskey species family n mincoordinateuncerta…¹

#> # ℹ abbreviated name: ¹mincoordinateuncertaintyinmeters
#> # ℹ 1 more variable: familycount
```
For non-tabular resources (e.g. spatial or raster data), use packages
like `sf` or `terra` directly.
``` r
mgrs10_belgium <- sf::st_read(
"https://zenodo.org/records/15211029/files/mgrs10_refgrid_belgium.gpkg",
quiet = TRUE)
head(mgrs10_belgium)
#> Simple feature collection with 6 features and 1 field

#> Dimension: XY
