[R] The Future of R | API to Public Databases

[antagomir]

Just a note on this earlier thread: R package collections for public APIs
seem to be now emerging and thriving in various disciplines: 

- Bioinformatics the Bioconductor collection contains many API packages
- rOpenSci: R tools for open science-related APIs 
- rOpenHealth: R tools for open healthcare-related APIs
- rOpenGov: R tools for open government data and computational social
science (disclaimer: I am one of the main developers for this one)

These community projects and aim to fill the gap discussed in this thread.
The APIs and needs are many, and best tackled with community-driven package
collections written by the actual users. 

Have a look at those projects - your contributions to any of them is
certainly welcome.

best,
Leo Lahti
