EurostatNode Implementation

This drb-impl-eurostat module implements access to Eurostat data with DRB data model.

Eurostat Factory

The module implements the basic factory model defined in DRB in its node resolver. Based on the python entry point mechanism, this module can be dynamically imported into applications.

The entry point group reference is drb.impl.
The implementation name is eurostat.
The factory class is encoded into drb_impl_eurostat.drb_impl_eurostat.

The Eurostat factory creates a DrbEurostatServiceNode if called with the path 'eurostat://' or DrbEurostatDateNode if a dataset or tables code is given in the path 'eurostat://{code}'.

Nodes

DrbEurostatServiceNode

Represent a node for browsing Eurostat data. Its attribute tables contain the list of all the available dataset and tables in the eurostat service. Its children is a list of DrbEurostatDataNode that can be browsed by dataset or table code. This node has no implementations.

DrbEurostatDataNode

Represent an Eurostat dataset or table. Its attribute "columns" contain the list of the data available in this dataset or table. Its children is a list of DrbEurostatRowNode that can be browsed only by its index in the table. A panda DataFrame representation is available using the get_impl(panda.core.frame.DataFrame) method

DrbEurostatRowNode

Represent a single row of an eurostat dataset or table. Its attribute "columns" contain the list of the data available in this row. Its children is a list of DrbEurostatValueNode that can be browsed by index or name of the column. This node has noimplementations.

DrbEurostatValueNode

Represent a single Eurostat cell value from a dataset or table.

limitations

The current version does not manage child modification and insertion.

Using this module

To include this module into your project, the drb-impl-eurostat module shall be referenced into requirement.txt file, or the following pip line can be run:

pip install drb-impl-eurostat

Examples

This example create a DrbEurostatServiceNode using the DrbEurostatFactory then look for tables containing the word 'crimes' using the attribute of the service:

from drb_impl_eurostat import DrbEurostatFactory

factory = DrbEurostatFactory()
service = factory.create('eurostat://')

tables = service.get_attribute('tables')
search = 'crimes'
for table in tables:
    if search in table[0].lower():
        print(table)

Output :

('Crimes recorded by the police by NUTS 3 regions', 'crim_gen_reg')
('Crimes recorded by the police by metropolitan regions', 'met_crim_gen')
('Crimes recorded by the police by other typologies', 'urt_crim_gen')
('Crimes recorded by the police by by offence category', 'crim_gen')
('Crimes recorded by the police by NUTS 3 regions', 'crim_gen_reg')
('Crimes recorded by the police: homicide in cities', 'crim_hom_city')
('Crimes recorded by the police (1950-2000)', 'crim_hist')

We can get the table we want using its code and get a pandas' DataFrame representation

from pandas.core.frame import DataFrame
from drb_impl_eurostat import DrbEurostatFactory

code = 'crim_gen_reg'
factory = DrbEurostatFactory()
service = factory.create('eurostat://')
table = service[code]
print(table.get_impl(DataFrame))

We can also put the code direcly in the path given to the factory

from pandas.core.frame import DataFrame
from drb_impl_eurostat import DrbEurostatFactory

code = 'crim_gen_reg'
factory = DrbEurostatFactory()
table = factory.create('eurostat://' + code)
print(table.get_impl(DataFrame))
