czso_get_dataset_metadata: Get dataset metadata

In czso: Use Open Data from the Czech Statistical Office in R

Get dataset metadata

Description

Get metadata from CZSO API, which can be somewhat more detailed/readable than what is provided in the dataset's entry in the output of czso_get_dataset().

Usage

czso_get_dataset_metadata(dataset_id)

Arguments

dataset_id

Dataset ID

Details

As far as I can tell there is no way to get the metadata in English, though some key datasets, such as codelists, do have English-language documentation. See czso_get_table() for how to access English-language codelists (registers).

Value

a list with elements named in English, where the names are mostly self-explanatory. So are the contents where these are dates; title, description, notes and tags only exist in Czech as far as I know. Some fields merit explanation:

• resources: a list of files available to download in this dataset

• frequency: see https://project-open-data.cio.gov/iso8601_guidance/ for a key

• ruian_type: what type of spatial unit the data covers (spatial domain/extent/scope, not granularity). ST means "state" (this is almost always the case), "KR" means region (kraj), "OK" district (okres), "OB" municipality (obec); "RS" cohesion region (region soudržnosti, larger than region)

• ruian_code: the code of the unit the data covers as per the RUIAN taxonomy

• schema points to documentation while describedBy points to the technical schema in JSON or XML.
