ohvbd is a package for R focused on data retrieval and linking developed by the hub. Currently it provides access to a number of different data sources, and this will expand as the hub itself covers more resources.

ohvbd is in active development, and as such is not yet released on CRAN, however you can get started with it today by installing it from GitHub.

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("fwimp/ohvbd", build_vignettes = TRUE)

Then in your R console type the following to explore the commands:

help(package = ohvbd)
