Arguments

cvtype	the name of the controlled vocab eg. "resulttype" or "methodtype"
quietly	whether to print in console or not

Value

a vector of the Names column from the controlled vocab table

Details

This function returns a character vector of terms from a selected controlled vocabularly and, optionally, prints those names in the R console. Controlled vocabularies are hosted at http://vocabulary.odm2.org/ as well as pre-populated in the database template in rodm2. This function relies on the CV terms in the pre-populated ODM2 database template.

Examples

#> resulttype controlled vocabulary terms: "Category observation", "Count observation", "Measurement", "Point coverage", "Profile coverage", "Section coverage", "Spectra coverage", "Temporal observation", "Time series coverage", "Trajectory coverage", "Transect coverage", "Truth observation"
#> use quietly = FALSE to print out all controlled vocabulary terms
resultterms <- get_cv_terms("resulttype")
