R is a good tool for processing VIVO pages, crawling RDF and creating data and visualizations from VIVO data. To use R to access VIVO pages and data, you will need three things
install.packages("XML", repos = "http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin") |
The library command will be needed each time you start R. You can put this command in your .First function.
The statnet package provides network data structures, network analysis and visualization for networks. The network() object is particularly useful for representing connected collections of data from VIVO. A powerful and flexible plot() method for the network object displays networks.
To install the statnet package, execute the following two R commands:
install.packages("statnet") |
The library command will be needed each time you start R. You can put this command in your .First function.
Sample R functions for VIVO will be available in the VIVO SourceForge code repository. See other pages in this R category for examples and sample code.
