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.json
MUST have a propertyunknown_values
. -
The property unknown_values
MUST be an array of strings being equal to the strings for unknown values. -
The property unknown_values
MUST 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.
