[R] including internal data in a package

CRAN check is issuing a complaint,

Found the following calls to data() loading into the global environment:
File ‘OpenMx/R/MxAlgebra.R’:
  data(omxSymbolTable)
See section ‘Good practice’ in ‘?data’.

I tried placing an rda file in the package's R/ directory, but now I get 
a new CRAN check complaint,

Subdirectory 'R' contains invalid file names:
  ‘omxSymbolTable.rda’

Furthermore, I can't figure out how to load this file. I found this 2013 
post,

http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Good-practice-for-data-for-R-packages-td4660313.html

"The objects will be available in your NAMESPACE." -- I don't 
understand. Can somebody clarify?

Thanks.
