-## How the Library Works
+## How does the library work?
 ### Query system
-The library uses a query system to specify the relationships between the main sample dataframe and the context data. The query consists of a series of context types separated by arrows (->), with optional relationship types in square brackets. For example, the query `"Income -> Family[301] -> Schoolmates[all] -> Sample"` specifies that the income of the parents of the student's classmates should be calculated based on the provided sample dataframe.

 ### Data used:
 The library checks the latest verion of each network file for the year specified in the `transform` function.

 ### Transformation fo the query
 The `validate_query` function (called automatically by the `transform` function) ensures that the query string is correctly formatted and that all necessary columns are present in the input dataframes. It splits the query into individual contexts and verifies each part, raising errors for any issues found.
 
-The different network files (contexts) are merged (inner join) consecutively based on the relationship columns specified in the query. The resulting dataframe is then aggregated based on the aggregation function(e.g., pl.mean, pl.sum) specified in the `transform` function.

-We recomment to use the polars lazy evaluation (lazy=True) to reduce memory usage and speed up the calculations. For debugging this can be disabled by setting lazy=False.
