In the beginning, there was text… and it was good.

We didn’t have need for high falutin rich text hypermedia science fiction mumbo jumbo. At its core, org-mode is just exactly this: text. Org-mode may be daunting, but when you feel overwhelmed, breathe and know that org-mode’s lowest common denominator is just plain text.

Sometimes, however, text alone doesn’t adequately convey intent. Occasionally we need to be bold or otherwise add emphasis

Publishing a dataset using DSMP API from R

These are some notes I made to reason through / illustrate usage of the new DSMP API. Usage here is presented as a linear set of steps for pedagogical purposes rather than attempting to create a reusable set of functions or a library.

Creating a new R client library based around the DSMP API is a task for the hopefully-not-too-distant future.
