Loading Rdata files in a Package
From ?data
2. files ending ?.RData? or ?.rda? are ?load()?ed. '.Rdata' (l/c 'd') files are not supported (although on case-insensitive file systems they will work in _some_ circumstances, but only some. Without the sessionInfo() output we asked for in the posting guide, we can only guess if this such a file system.).

I have an .Rdata file saved in my "data" folder in a package I created. However, when I use the data() function it doesn't recognize that there any dataset exists within the package. Is there anything specific I need to do such that the data() function will load my dataset?
No reproducible example was provided.
Did you provide a name for the .Rdata file? e.g. mydat.RData
Run
example( package.skeleton )
then edit the 'mypkg' Rd files to put add dummy \title{} entries.
Then INSTALL, then run R,
library(mypkg)
data(d)
str(d)
.

.
Emulate what you see in mypkg/*
Or use package.skeleton() to get you started.
