Attributes of a dataset

Usage

attributes_measures(x)

attributes_measures(x, sdmx_attributes = NULL) <- value

Arguments

x: A data.frame or inherited tibble, data.frame, or a structured list.
sdmx_attributes: The optional SDMX dimensions.
value: The name or column number of the within the dataset.

Value

A data frame of the names, class, isDefinedBy, and codeList properties of the attributes columns of a dataset following the datacube model.

Details

Do not confuse with base::attributes, which applies to the attributes of the entire dataset, and not each observation (measurement) row. See the W3C and SDMX definition of a attribute.

Examples

df <- data.frame ( sex = c("M", "F"), value = c(1,2), unit = c("NR", "NR"))
dimensions(df, sdmx_attributes = "sex") <- "sex"
measures(df) <- "value"
attributes_measures(df) <- "unit"
