Details

The meta data of a CBS table is determined by the web api of Statistics Netherlands. cbsodataR stays close to this API. Each cbsodataR object has the following metadata items, which are all data.frames :

• ⁠$TableInfos⁠: data.frame with the descriptive publication metadata of the table, such as Title, Description, Summary etc.

• ⁠$DataProperties⁠: data.frame with the Title, Description, Unit etc. of each column in the dataset that is downloaded with cbs_get_data().

• ⁠$CategoryGroups⁠: hierarchical groupings of the code columns.

• ⁠$<code column>⁠: for each code column a data.frame with the Title, Key, Description etc. of each code / category in that column. e.g. Perioden for time codes c("2019JJ00","2018JJ00").

Value

cbs_table object containing several data.frames with meta data (see details)
