Data/Structure Validation (for R)

108 views Asked by At

My internet search was unsuccessful, therefore I hope that somebody got an idea on this. Assume I collaborate with a colleague and we work with a dataset. He preprocesses data which I read into R.

What I am looking for is a tool for the command line or a package in R which I can use to define a data format, e.g., something like this:

data description

date:    date
age:     positive integer
weight:  positive float
job:     string, NA

Then, I would like to check the validity of a given dataset, either on the command line or in R. Nice to have, but not necessary: Generating test data from a given data structure description.

Thank you for your ideas/hints!
