Compare Marginal Dimension-Code Coverage

Description

Compare Marginal Dimension-Code Coverage.

Usage

compare(..., import_labels = TRUE, import_dim_labels = TRUE)

Arguments

...	Two or more different dataset references, each supplied as a separate scalar string.
import_labels	Logical; include code labels.
import_dim_labels	Logical; include dimension labels.

Details

Rows are the full union of dimension-ID/code pairs. Matching IDs are not proof of conceptual equivalence across datasets. Conflicting labels are joined with " | " and generate a warning rather than being silently overwritten. Availability follows importMetabase. This function compares metadata coverage, not numeric observations, units or revisions.

Value

A data.table with Dim_name, Dim_val, optional labels, and one logical column per input dataset. Missing membership is FALSE.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
# Discover two relevant references first rather than guessing identifiers.
candidates <- OECDdata::find("national accounts")$df$Code
if (length(candidates) >= 2L) compare(candidates[[1]], candidates[[2]])
}
