Support and display series attributes

Discussed in dbnomics-fetchers/management#156 (comment 8163)

There exist characteristics of a series that are described by dimensions by that have only one value. This information is useful to understand a series but are useless as facet.

Acceptation criteria

  • It needs to be added to the data model in order to be usable by new fetchers
  • Series attributes MUST be returned by the API
  • Series attributes MUST be displayed in the UI but not be used as facet
  • Series attributes MUST be available as DataFrame columns in Python client

Questions

  • What about R client?

Examples

  • dbnomics-fetchers/management#445 (closed) IMF/IFS/A.7A.HPU_XDR: website, API, series.jsonl (big)
