rocrateR 0.1.0

• Added higher level function to load RO-Crates from various inputs,
  load_rocrate.
• Added higher level function to validate RO-Crate and display report with
  errors and warnings (if any was found), validate_rocrate.
• Defined new checks for RO-Crate validation to ignore system specific
  directories (e.g., __MACOSX on macOS).
• Refactored functions to streamline checks, including is_rocrate.
• Updated get_entity so it takes a vector for id and type, reuses the
  shorter vector (only if the length 1), or errors if vectors have different
  lengths.
• Updated is_rocrate_bag so it returns a boolean value, indicating the
  validity of the given RO-Crate bag. Previously, it returned a path to the
  root of the RO-Crate.
• Updated unbag_rocrate to return the path to RO-Crate root visibly.
• add_entities() is deprecated. Use add_entity() instead.
• load_rocrate_bag() is deprecated. Use load_rocrate() instead. Note that
  validation must be done as a separate step using validate_rocrate().
• read_rocrate() is deprecated. Use load_rocrate() instead.
• remove_entities() is deprecated. Use remove_entity() instead.
• entity(x=) renamed to entity(id=).

rocrateR 0.0.1

This is the first CRAN release, the package includes functions for the creation and manipulation of RO-Crates, including the use of the 5s-create profile. Additionally, there are functions to validate the format of the RO-Crates (and their entities), as well as to create & validate RO-Crate bags with BagIt.

Here's a summary of the main functions in this version of the package:

Function	Purpose
rocrate()	Create an empty or initialised RO-Crate
entity()	Define a new entity (Person, Dataset, etc.)
add_entity() / add_entities()	Add entities to a crate
get_entity()	Retrieve entities by @id or @type
remove_entity() / remove_entities()	Remove one or more entities
write_rocrate()	Save RO-Crate to disk
bag_rocrate() / is_rocrate_bag() / unbag_rocrate()	Bagging and unbagging RO-Crates
