This function downloads and loads the 'MeSH' (Medical Subject Headings) Trees data.

data_mesh_trees(
  path = NULL,
  use_persistent_storage = FALSE,
  force_install = FALSE
)

Arguments

path

A character string specifying the directory path where data should be stored. If not provided and persistent storage is requested, it defaults to a system-appropriate persistent location managed by `rappdirs`.

use_persistent_storage

A logical value indicating whether to use persistent storage. If TRUE and no path is provided, data will be stored in a system-appropriate location. Defaults to FALSE, using a temporary directory.

force_install

A logical value indicating whether to force re-downloading of the data even if it already exists locally.

Value

A data frame containing the MeSH Trees data.

Details

The data is sourced from specified URLs and stored locally for subsequent use. By default, the data is stored in a temporary directory. Users can opt into persistent storage by setting `use_persistent_storage` to TRUE and optionally specifying a path.

Examples

data <- data_mesh_trees()
#> No path provided and persistent storage not requested. Using temporary directory for this session.
