"Publishing Stats for Analytic Reuse – FAOStat Website and R Package"

Glen Newton
"How can stats and data publishers, from NGOs and (inter)national
statistics agencies to scientific researchers, publish their data in a
way that supports its analysis directly, as well as in combination
with other datasets?"

"...As well as providing a way of running data grab queries over the
FAO FAOSTAT and World Bank WDI APIs, it seems to provide support for
“linkage”. As the draft vignette suggests, “Merge is a typical data
manipulation step in daily work yet a non-trivial exercise especially
when working with different data sources....""
