Tools for Reading SDMX Data and Metadata

Description

RSDMX is a package to parse/read SDMX documents in R. It provides: - a set of classes and methods to read data and metadata documents exchanged through theStatistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) framework. The package currently focuses on the SDMX XML standard format (SDMX-ML). - an web-service interface to well-known SDMX data providers

saveSDMX

Description

Examples

            
 
   sdmx <- system.file("extdata","Example_Eurostat_2.0.xml", package="rsdmx")
   sf <- tempfile(fileext = ".rda")

Class "SDMX"

Description

An abstract class from which SDMX classes are derived

Usage

SDMX(xmlObj, namespaces)
SDMX(xmlObj, namespaces)

Arguments

xmlObj

object of class "XMLInternalDocument derived from XML package

namespaces

object of class "data.frame" given the list of namespace URIs

Value

an object of class "SDMX"

Slots

xmlObj: Object of class "XMLInternalDocument" derived from XML package
schema: Object of class "SDMXSchema", handles the version of SDMX-ML format
header: Object of class "SDMXHeader", handles the SDMX-ML document header
footer: Object of class "SDMXFooter", handles the SDMX-ML document footer

Warning

This class is not useful in itself, but all SDMX classes in this package derive from it.

Note

Currently, the approach drafted in rsdmx package was to rely on XML package, read the xml object and store it as part of the SDMX R object. Another approach being investigated is to use XML handlers throughthe Simple API for XML (SAX) that could avoid to load the full XML tree in the SDMX R object (xmlObj). Indeed, SDMX data could be huge and causes issues of memory if the complete XML tree is loaded in the R user session.

unsupportedResources

an object of class "list" giving one or more resources not supported by the Request builder for a given provider

Class "SDMXREST20RequestBuilder"

Description

A experimental class to handle a SDMX 2.0 service request builder

Usage

SDMXREST20RequestBuilder(regUrl, repoUrl, accessKey = NULL, formatter, compliant,
   unsupportedResources = list(), skipProviderId = FALSE, forceProviderId = FALSE,
   headers = list())
SDMXREST20RequestBuilder(regUrl, repoUrl, accessKey = NULL, formatter, compliant,
   unsupportedResources = list(), skipProviderId = FALSE, forceProviderId = FALSE,
   headers = list())

Arguments

regUrl

an object of class "character" giving the base Url of the SDMX service registry

repoUrl

an object of class "character" giving the base Url of the SDMX service repository

accessKey

an object of class "character" indicating the name of request parameter for which an authentication or subscription user key/token has to be provided to perform requests

formatter

compliant

an object of class "logical" indicating if the web-service is compliant with the SDMX REST web-service specifications

unsupportedResources

an object of class "list" giving eventual unsupported REST resources. Default is an empty list object

skipProviderId

an object of class "logical" indicating that the provider agencyIdshould be skipped. Used to control lack of strong SDMX REST compliance from data providers. For now, it applies only for the "data" resource.

forceProviderId

headers

an object of class "list" that contains any additional headers for the request.

Slots

regUrl: an object of class "character" giving the base Url of the SDMX service registry
repoUrl: an object of class "character" giving the base Url of the SDMX service repository
accessKey: an object of class "character" indicating the name of request parameter for which an authentication or subscription user key/token has to be provided to perform requests
compliant: an object of class "logical" indicating if the web-service is compliant with the SDMX REST web-service specifications

Warning

This class is not useful in itself, but all SDMX non-abstract classes will encapsulate it as slot, when parsing an SDMX-ML document.
