review 0.0.1

Initial exploratory release

This first public release introduces review, an R package that provides a tidy relational algebra for iterative semantic review of tabular data.

The initial implementation consists of four core verbs:

  • claims_df() creates a collection of reviewable claims from an ordinary data frame by separating structural variables from reviewable values.
  • review() allocates one or more review rounds without prescribing how the review itself is carried out.
  • explain() records provenance for each review round, including review activities, agents, and supporting resources.
  • finalise_review() promotes the current reviewed values into the next candidate version while preserving the review history.

The package currently includes two vignettes:

  • The Review Algebra, introducing the review workflow and its underlying concepts.
  • Review Provenance, describing how review activities, agents, and resources are recorded using a lightweight provenance model inspired by W3C PROV.

This exploratory release establishes the core review algebra and provides a foundation for future development of reproducible semantic review workflows, metadata integration, and interoperability with the companion dataset package.
