WTO: Store the string representing 'unknown' values in `series.json`
- As the Web API
- I want to know for each series what is the string representing unknown values
- in order to remove them or replace them by a DB.nomics common string
Acceptance criteria
-
If the series has unknown values, series.jsonMUST have a propertyunknown_values. -
The property unknown_valuesMUST be an array of strings being equal to the strings for unknown values. -
The property unknown_valuesMUST be documented in the technical wiki.
Resources
Example in series.json:
{
"key": "XYZ",
"unknown_values": ["...", "n.d"]
}
This means that in the source Excel file, when there are "...", the value is unknown.
For the record, some series use other strings: NaN, N/A, Null, -1, 9999, ..., etc.
