Wordbank updates!

 

We are very pleased to announce a major update to Wordbank, including some significant changes to the database structure. We are also adding more than 10 new languages and data from many thousands of children. 

We now include data from multilingual children and children with diagnosed developmental disorders (as well as functionality for identifying these children via the shiny apps and the wordbankr API). 

The prior version of the Wordbank database will remain up and available for queries via the wordbankr 0.3.0 API (or earlier) for a period of at least 6 months, but if you upgrade wordbankr you will begin accessing the new Wordbank data. 

Wordbank data will also be versioned going forward so that older snapshots of the database will be available via S3 snapshots (see Documentation page).
