Accessing WoSIS using R

For an overview of WoSIS, see https://www.isric.org/explore/wosis. The WoSIS Procedures Manual  explains how to access the database in various ways; here we expand their brief description of using R for this purpose.

This links to https://www.isric.org/explore/wosis/accessing-wosis-derived-datasets which explains the difference between snapshot and dynamic datasets, and how to access them. That page links to this one. 

Scripts to access R for the two forms of the WoSIS database are provided as R Markdown source documents at https://git.wur.nl/Batje001/wosis/-/tree/master/R_scripts, along with their compiled HTML and PDF outputs, and R scripts extracted from the R Markdown source. 

R Markdown is explained by the R Studio project: https://rmarkdown.rstudio.com. You can also load the extracted R code and run in your favourite R environment.
