#correspondencetables header format #correspondencetables


Miguel Fernández Astudillo
 

Hello all

should the correspondence table have only two columns?



For example, the exiobase to nace codes: to classify exiobase activities to nace codes the names (descriptions) are not needed. For me it would make more sense to have nace code to nace name in a different table. What do you think?

Agree. Isn t this also the current format of the tables?

I still do not understand why we do not use RDF for this? In RDF every one of the relations would be separate.

Dear all

 

For consistency I think we should specify a bit more the format of the final tables

 

Separator: I’d propose “,”

null values: An empty value seems reasonable to me, but I do not have a strong preference.

Header: just one row, the first one

 

That should help the parser later on. What do you think?

When I tried to create metadata yesterday for one of the tables (isic4 to Nace2 I think) that table was in the format you describe. The problem was that some columns had mixed data types (e.g. strings and numbers) and the infer function got it wrong so I had to manually fix this. So I would suggest to keep data types homogeneous within the same column – if possible!

 

Not sure how to deal with missing values but I don’t think using e.g. zero is a good option so I would also go for empty value. OK for separator and header.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense
