ExperimentHubData provides tools to add or modify
resources in Bioconductor’s ExperimentHub. This ‘hub’
houses curated data from courses, publications or experiments. The
resources are generally not files of raw data (as can be the case in
AnnotationHub) but instead are R /
Bioconductor objects such as GRanges, SummarizedExperiment,
data.frame etc. Each resource has associated metadata that can be
searched through the ExperimentHub client interface.
Please see HubPub Vignette “CreateAHubPackage”.
vignette("CreateAHubPackage", package="HubPub")ExperimentHub_dockerThe ExperimentHub_docker
offers an isolated test environment for inserting / extracting metadata
records in the ExperimentHub database. The README in the
package explains how to set up the Docker and inserting records is done
with ExperimentHub::addResources().
In general this level of testing should not be necessary when
submitting a package with new resources. The best way to validate record
metadata is to read inst/extdata/metadata.csv with
ExperimentHubData::makeExperimentHubMetadata(). If that is
successful the metadata are ready to go.
