Changes of IEDC Excel data template and export routines
Note necessary and optional changes here so that they can be reviewed and become part of next version.
So this is something like a wishlist :christmas_tree:?
Let me add one thing. Parsing the Cover sheet was a quite tedious. We should rethink that. I can make a proposal.
Sure, we can design a version 2 format. Note that the left part of the cover sheet is just a 1:1 copy of the dataset table entry. Here we don't have much flexibility.
Another thing: IMO there should be no distinction between TABLE and LIST type data. The LIST type is basically a simple from of the TABLE type. Therefore the definitions of aspects & classifications (currently in the Cover sheet) should be 100% harmonized between the two. Right now I have to use a lot of case distinctions in my code which could be simplified then.
When creating a custom classification directly from the data template, we have now: classification_Name = aspect_datasetName, e.g. commodity__1_F_steel_SankeyFlows_2008_Global
Please change the parser to do the following:
- for description: from "generated by IEDC_tools v0.2" to "Custom classification, generated by IEDC_tools v0.2"
- for meaning_attribute1: from "None" to "[aspect] aspect of dataset"
- for meaning_attribute1: from "None" to "[aspect] aspect of dataset"
Do you mean that literally or should "[aspect]" be replaced with something? Please give an example.
Please replace [aspect] by the actual aspect (aspect.aspect for aspect.id = datasets.aspectx). E.g. "origin_region aspect of dataset" "age-cohort aspect of dataset"
- for description: from "generated by IEDC_tools v0.2" to "Custom classification, generated by IEDC_tools v0.2"
- for meaning_attribute1: from "None" to "[aspect] aspect of dataset"
Done.
