importMetabase {eurodata}

Import Eurostat “Metabase”

Description

The Eurostat “Metabase” shows which datasets contain which dimensions (where a dimension is e.g. geo or nace_r2 or indic_sb) and, within each dataset and dimension, which codes (e.g. which countries for the geo dimension).

Usage

importMetabase()

Value

The imported data.frame which reflects the hierarchical structure described above. It is a ‘flat’ data.frame with 3 columns, where each row corresponds to the combination of:

• Code – Eurostat dataset code names, e.g. "nama_10_a64"

• Dim_name – Eurostat dimension code names, e.g. "nace_r2"

• Dim_val – Eurostat dimension code values, e.g. "EU28" if Dim_name is "geo"; not to be confused with the actual numeric values in the actual datasets
