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").
Other meta data:
cbs_add_date_column(),
cbs_add_label_columns(),
cbs_add_unit_column(),
cbs_download_meta()
