codelist 'method' gets all possible values of the attribute, including non-related to the data/table considered

[maxecharel]

Hi again; exploring the direct and indirect functionalities of the package, I checked the possibility of generating a codebook.
Following the rsdmx vignette, I've tried:

dsdUrl <- "https://stats.oecd.org/restsdmx/sdmx.ashx/GetDataStructure/SNA_TABLE1"
dsd <- readSDMX(dsdUrl)
cls <- slot(dsd, "codelists")

codelists <- sapply(slot(cls, "codelists"), function(x) slot(x, "id"))

codelist <- as.data.frame(slot(dsd, "codelists"), codelistId = "CL_SNA_TABLE1_UNIT")

SNA_TABLE1 is about GDP, but still for CL_SNA_TABLE1_UNIT I get values such as:

So it seems that it extracts all the possible values of the UNIT attribute independently of the values used in the specified table. I suspect that it is a limitation of the API (same problem with Eurostat) and is not due to the procedure suggested in the vignette, but I wanted to be absolutely sure. Thx!

Yes we take the codelist as provided by the service. You may need to contact data provider to seek for clarifications. Le lun. 13 févr. 2023 à 13:42, maxecharel ***@***.***> a écrit :
