delma is a package for converting metadata statements written in markdown,
RMarkdown or Quarto markdown to Ecological Metadata Language (EML). It is named
for a genus of legless lizards that are endemic to Australia, whose name happens
to contain the letters ‘e’, ‘m’ and ‘l’.
The logo depicts a striped legless lizard (Delma impar) in the style of the
classic mobile game ‘snake’, a play on the observation that Delma are often
mistaken for snakes. delma was built and is maintained by the
Science & Decision Support Team
at the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA).
It was drawn by Martin Westgate.
