## Overview
The `diseasystore` package provides feature stores implemented in R
specifically designed for serve disease data for epidemic preparedness.

What makes a `diseasystore` special, is that features can be
automatically coupled and stratified within the `diseasystore` package.
Consult the Quick start vignette to see it in action
(`vignette("quick-start", package = "diseasystore")`).

The package forms the data-backbone of the `{diseasy}` package.

## Handling of diverse data sources
Different data sources are handled by individual `diseasystores` which
each facilitate access to the relevant disease data for the given data
source.

Data for different diseases will typically be structured in different
ways. The `diseasystore` package currently implements the Google Health
COVID-19 Open Repository with more `diseasystores` on the way.

The `diseasystore` package is designed to handle both individual-level
data (typically protected) and semi-aggregated data (typically publicly
available).

If the data is at the individual-level, the feature store is fully
dynamic and can adapt to (virtually) any stratification that the user
specifies. If the data conversely is semi-aggregated, the data can only
be stratified at the levels of the semi-aggregation (or at higher
levels).
