Infrastructure » DataONE R Client

I'd recommend avoiding the use of "data table" in a generic sense when actually referring to a data.frame. This is because data.table's are a new type of R object defined in the data.table package. It provides a faster way to deal with bigger data and queries mimic sql (without needing sql). R users familiar with this will definitely get confused. I'd recommend switching these terms to data frames so the terminology remains consistent.

message() is better than print() because the former can be suppressed with suppresspackageMessages() while the latter cannot.
