addCV: Extend controlled vocabularies

Description

Add a term to one of the controlled vocabularies. The better way is to have CUAHSI add the term to the official vocabulary through their web-page: http://his.cuahsi.org/mastercvreg/

updateCV queries the official vocabulary again and updates the database tables.

CVtables returns a list of controlled vocabularies.

Usage

addCV(table, term, definition)
updateCV()
CVtables()

Arguments

table

Character: Name of the controlled vocabulary. Use CVtables for a list of tables.

term

Character: Term to be added.

definition

Character: Definition of the term

Value
