the nc_metadata() function. Others are downloaded as requested.
meta_country_codes(): Country codes
meta_statprov_codes(): State/Province codes
meta_subnational2_codes(): Subnational2 codes
meta_iba_codes(): Important Bird Area (IBA) codes
meta_bcr_codes(): Bird Conservation Region (BCR) codes
meta_utm_squares(): UTM Square codes
meta_species_authority(): Species taxonomic authorities
meta_species_codes(): Alpha-numeric codes for avian species
meta_species_taxonomy(): Codes and taxonomic information for all species
meta_collections(): Collections names and descriptions
meta_breeding_codes(): Breeding codes and descriptions
meta_project_protocols(): Project protocols
meta_projects(): Projects ids, names, websites, and descriptions
meta_protocol_types(): Protocol types and descriptions
meta_bmde_versions(): Names and descriptions of the available versions of BMDE
(Bird Monitoring Data Exchange). These refer to sets of fields/columns
which can be downloaded for a given group of data. See nc_data_dl() for
more details.
meta_bmde_fields(): Fields/columns associated with a particular BMDE (Bird
Monitoring Data Exchange) version. See meta_bmde_versions() for the
different versions available, meta_collections() for which version is
used by which project, and nc_data_dl() for more details on downloading
data with a given set of fields/columns.
