Structure

This is a community data repository, created with the community::init_repository() function.

1. {set}/code/distribution/ingest.R should download and prepare data from a public source, and output files to {set}/data/distribution.
2. {set}/data/distribution/measure_info.json should contain metadata for each of the measures in the distribution data file(s).
3. build.R will convert the distribution data to site-ready versions, and site.R specifies the interface of the repository-specific data site.
