#' Data on documents in the acquis communautaire
#' 
#' This dataset includes one one observation per node in the network of
#' European Union legal documents. Each node is a document. This network
#' includes primary law (i.e., treaty articles), secondary law (i.e.,
#' legislation), and case law (i.e., court cases). The dataset indicates the
#' CELEX number of each document, which is a unique ID number assigned by
#' EUR-Lex, the date of the document, the author of the document, and the type
#' of the document. The dataset includes the following types of documents:
#' treaty articles, directives, regulations, decisions, Court of Justice
#' judgments, advocate general opinions, General Court judgments, national
#' implementing measures (i.e., national legislation that member states enact
#' to transpose EU directives), and national court decisions that apply EU
#' law.

#' \describe{
#' \item{key_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies each
#' observation. Indicates the default sorting order.}

#' \item{node_type_id}{\code{numeric}. An ID number that uniquely identifies
