title: 'datom: A Unified Framework for Versioned, Traceable Tabular Data'
version: 0.2.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.datom
abstract: Provides versioned storage for tabular data without a database or a server.
  Each table is written as an immutable, content-addressed version -- identical content
  is detected and stored only once -- while its version history and metadata are kept
  as code in a 'git' repository and the data itself in a local filesystem or cloud
  object storage ('S3'). Any past version can be read back exactly by its identifier,
  and each table records the sources it was derived from, so a project carries full
  data lineage. A lightweight reader role retrieves current or historical data from
  storage alone, without 'git' or write access, giving downstream analyses and pipelines
  a single versioned source of truth. It targets analytical and scientific data management,
  such as preparing clinical study datasets, and is designed as a foundation for higher-level
  governance tooling.
