Converts between compatible nmdbiotic versions

convertBioticFile(
  sourceFile,
  targetFile,
  targetFormat = "nmdbioticv3.xsd",
  overwrite = FALSE
)

Arguments

sourceFile

path to file that should be converted

targetFile

path that the converted files should be written to

targetFormat

name of xsdObject specifying the format of the target file. One of names(RstoxData::xsdObjects).

overwrite

Details

Different versions of the nmdbiotic format are compatible and can be converted with this function if they have the same major release number. So that v3.1 is compatible with v3.0, but not with version 1.4

Compatibility is not enforced by this function, and conversion will be attempted without checking the version of 'source'
