How to deal with dimensions values that have "+" in codes ?
In Sweeden statistics, many dimensions values codes contains '+' chars. Example: http://www.statistikdatabasen.scb.se/pxweb/en/ssd/START__AM__AM0301__AM0301C/AKIAM
If we keep those code like that, it would break SDMX masks. Indeed, if we a provider have a code like FR+BE
, the API can't know if the end of FOO.BAR.FR+BE
stands for FR
and DE
, or FR+BE
only.
Proposal
The simplest way of dealing with this is to transform +
to _
in codes: FR+BE
would become FR_DE
(or with -
: FR-DE
).
@MichelJuillard @thomasbrand do you think this could be a viable solution ?
