Corpus Explorer

The Robert-database ingestion of the Imperial Russian & Soviet statistical corpus, browsable one row per enriched extracted table. Each row is the honest metadata the Robert Database Framework recovered: the source table's title (translated to English where that pass has run, with the Russian original always preserved), units, geography, period, a topic from the ratified taxonomy (15 named categories plus an (unclassified) bucket for tables not yet assigned a topic), and the two-axis quality grade. These are genuine per-table measurements of the corpus — no values are fabricated.

Enrichment depth is uneven, and the table shows it. Of the 55,749 rows, 25,677 have an English title, a taxonomy topic, a geography facet and a parsed period. The rest were metadata-enriched later and are still awaiting the translation and classification passes: they display their Russian title and their quality grade, and their topic / period cells are blank. Blank means not recovered yet — never zero, never a guess. Filter by any topic (or by year) to browse only the fully classified subset.

A "table" here is a single extracted statistical table from a source publication. Tier-A/B (agent-enriched) tables are shown; mechanical-only (Tier-C) tables are excluded so every row carries honest recovered metadata. The period span above is the range of data years covered by the tables (each table's earliest period-coverage year) — which can predate or postdate a source's publication date, so it extends beyond the 1804–2008 publication span of the source documents. See the Charts for the corpus structure and Methodology for the quality model and provenance.

Year-series families

Curated concordances — sets of linked tables that recur across years and together form a would-be time-series panel. These are the highest-value targets for the next (harmonized-series) construction phase. Click a family to see its member tables across the years.
