When working with data, it is essential to have a good understanding of your dataset: the sources of the data, how it has been processed, and what aspects can be trusted or not. For specific analyses, it is advisable to structure the dataset in a way that aligns with the research objectives and analytical tools being used.

To facilitate obtaining an overview, digiLab provides the DEA (Digitized Estonian Articles) metadata browser. It is a visual environment for gaining insights into the content of the dataset. The metadata browser operates on extracted metadata from the accessible collection. In the JupyterHub environment, you can access the same metadata with the following command.

all_issues <- get_digar_overview()

The application is also accessible in a separate Shiny environment.
