Workflow
- For current budget totals and percentages, parse the budget page's headings and surrounding HTML text; cite the page and its
Viimati uuendatud date.
- For policy and programme documents, collect PDF and Riigi Teataja links from the policy page. Preserve each anchor label because it contains the document title, period, size, and format.
- For surveys, collect the PDF links under
Avaliku arvamuse uuringud on the publications page. The link labels give the survey month/year and file size; the archive runs from 2001 onward.
- Download only the required PDFs and preserve the report's question wording, sample, fieldwork period, and methodology when comparing indicators over time.
- Record index URL, direct document URL, label/date, and retrieval time.
Do not reuse the obsolete /et/eesmargid-tegevused/... routes. Flag links on the prelive.vportal.ee host as legacy rather than treating them as current canonical files.
Verification
- The budget page contains a current
Kaitse-eelarve {year} heading.
- The policy page exposes multiple official PDFs and Riigi Teataja links.
- The publications page exposes many dated opinion-survey PDFs; valid files start with
%PDF-.
