What is citeme?

Citation metadata machinery breaks out of INBO's checklist package to stand on its own.

citeme handles citation metadata for research software and organisations — building citation files, validating ORCIDs, RORs, licenses and URLs, and prompting for the pieces interactively. It was extracted from the checklist package in 0.1.0 and has spent the four releases since fleshing out organisational roles, most visibly publishers.

What is n2kanalysis?

n2kanalysis has spent eight years wiring INLA models to an S3 bucket.

n2kanalysis is the analysis framework behind INBO's nature monitoring networks, wrapping INLA model fitting with a manifest-driven pipeline whose intermediate objects live in S3. Capability has arrived in discrete lumps: hurdle models with imputation and a manifest-to-bash converter in 0.3.1, SPDE spatial elements in INLA models in 0.4.0, and in 0.4.1 a connect_inbo_s3() function that makes temporary credentials available to the R functions.

Citation metadata machinery breaks out of INBO's checklist package to stand on its own.

◆ Current state

citeme handles citation metadata for research software and organisations — building citation files, validating ORCIDs, RORs, licenses and URLs, and prompting for the pieces interactively. It was extracted from the checklist package in 0.1.0 and has spent the four releases since fleshing out organisational roles, most visibly publishers.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is running in tight monthly increments along two tracks: modelling who is attached to a piece of research software, and smoothing the interactive prompts that collect it. The publisher role added in 0.1.1 propagated through validation, community detection and YAML handling over the next two releases, which is how this package tends to land a concept — introduce the class field, then follow it everywhere it needs to reach.

◆ Prediction

Expect the interactive ask_* family to keep growing alongside whatever metadata field is being modelled next, and further alignment with the checklist package it was carved out of.

n2kanalysis has spent eight years wiring INLA models to an S3 bucket.

◆ Current state

n2kanalysis is the analysis framework behind INBO's nature monitoring networks, wrapping INLA model fitting with a manifest-driven pipeline whose intermediate objects live in S3. Capability has arrived in discrete lumps: hurdle models with imputation and a manifest-to-bash converter in 0.3.1, SPDE spatial elements in INLA models in 0.4.0, and in 0.4.1 a connect_inbo_s3() function that makes temporary credentials available to the R functions.

◆ Where it's heading

Development is slow, institutional, and driven by the modeling needs of specific monitoring programmes rather than a product roadmap. The pattern across the window is a new model class when the ecology requires one, then a stretch of infrastructure work around storage, credentials and pipeline efficiency. The 0.4.1 release is characteristic — a credentials helper, better result retrieval, more tests and a code-style pass, with no modeling change at all. Much of the early history is recorded only as merge-commit titles, so the release record thins out the further back it goes.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next substantive release to add another INLA model variant as a monitoring programme needs it, with S3 and credential handling continuing to absorb the maintenance effort in between.
