Google’s R Style Guide

From the webpage:

R is a high-level programming language used primarily for statistical computing and graphics. The goal of the R Programming Style Guide is to make our R code easier to read, share, and verify. The rules below were designed in collaboration with the entire R user community at Google.

Useful if you are trying to develop good R coding habits from the start.

Makes me wonder about a similar need for topic maps authors? At least on a project by project basis.

If I am always representing marital status as an occurrence on a topic, that isn’t going to fit well with another author who always uses associations to represent marriages.

There could be compelling reasons in a project for choosing one or the other.

Similar questions will come up with other subjects and relationships as well.

It won’t be 100% but best to try to get everyone off on the same foot and to validate output against your local authoring guidelines.
