Fusion-CSV-TS

Overview

The Fusion-CSV-TS Data format predated SDMX-CSV and is not an official SDMX format. The format differs from both SDMX-CSV and Fusion-CSV as it does not output an observation per row, instead it outputs a Series per row with the time periods output across the columns.

Note: The Fusion-CSV-TS Data format does not output any Attribute values.

Fusion-CSV-TS can be used as an export format for the Fusion Registry, and an export format for the Fusion Edge Server and Fusion Data Browser. Fusion-CSV-TS can not be used as a data import format.

Example

An example query using the format request parameters, HTTP Accept Headers can also be used to define the same format.

An example dataset with IDs only, spaces have been added to this example to assist readability.

REF_AREA, INDICATOR, SUB_INDICATOR, FREQ, 2008, 2009, 2010
GHA,      GCI,       RANK,          A,    102,  114,  114
GHA,      GCI,       VALUE,         A,    3.6,  3.4,  3.5

The same dataset in Fusion-CSV with lables included. Note, labels columns are only included if the Dimension, Attribute, or Measure is Coded, if it is not, then only one column is output - this can be seen in the table below where both TIME_PERIOD and OBS_VALUE are only single columns.

REF_AREA, Reference Area, INDICATOR, Indicator,                    SUB_INDICATOR, Sub Indicator, FREQ, Frequency, 2008, 2009, 2010
GHA,      Ghana,          GCI,       Global Competitiveness Index, RANK,          Rank           A,    Annual,    102,  114,  114
