FAQPage Schema
How do I search for variable definitions in Swedish registry metadata?

To search Swedish registry metadata, you query variable definitions and value codes directly using the reg-meta CLI tool. This programmatic approach bypasses complex documentation by exposing structural schemas for research and data analysis workflows.

What is the best way to find specific income variables in the LISA register for SCB MONA research?

Finding specific income variables in the LISA register involves querying the registry metadata to identify which registers contain the required variables. You can then verify exact column names and structural details needed for your SCB MONA analysis.

Do I need the reg-meta CLI tool installed to retrieve Swedish register schemas?

Yes, you need the reg-meta CLI tool installed and updated to retrieve Swedish register schemas. The register-metadata-search skill interfaces directly with this command-line tool to query the underlying structural database.

Can I validate data schema compatibility for specific Swedish registers and years?

You can validate data schema compatibility by retrieving column names and structural details for specific Swedish registers and years. This ensures data compatibility by verifying exact column names against the underlying registry metadata.

How do I discover value codes for Swedish registry variables programmatically?

Discovering value codes for Swedish registry variables is done by interfacing with the reg-meta CLI tool. This programmatic access facilitates the discovery of value codes and variable definitions without navigating complex registry documentation manually.

What limitations exist when querying SCB registry metadata through the command line?

A key limitation when querying SCB registry metadata is the strict dependency on the reg-meta CLI tool. If the CLI tool is not installed or updated, the skill cannot query the underlying structural database to retrieve variable definitions.
