elementCodesToNames: Element Codes to Names

In SWS-Methodology/faoswsStandardization: Package to perform standardization of SUA (supply utilization account) data to FBS level

Description

This function converts element codes (such as 5510, 5421, ...) into meaningful names (such as "production", "yield", etc.). It only works with the codes defined in a file called elementCodes, which was om the Share drive paste0(R_SWS_SHARE_PATH,"/browningj/") but now is an ad hoc dataTable in the SWS in the AgricultureProduction domain. The tricky part of this function is that the commodity type must be used to correctly choose the element code, as different commodities may use different codes for production, yield, ...

Usage

  standParams = NULL)

standParams	A list of parameters (see faoswsStandardization::defaultStandardizationParameters). If supplied, elementCol and itemCol can be NULL.
