mapping XML dataset to FDP datasets #67

@HimmelStein
Copy link

an XML file may have several tables, e.g. http://open-data.europa.eu/data/dataset/budget-of-the-european-union-2014

should each table in XML be mapped to one FDP dataset (with .csv + datapackage.json),
or all these tables mapped to a big sparse FDP dataset?

@HimmelStein great question. It would be graet if you could:

  • list the files in that dataset
  • inline a sample of the XML

the files in the dataset are as follows.

c!SEC1_E!en!0.xml
c!SEC2_E!en!0.xml
c!SEC3_E!en!0.xml
c!SEC4_E!en!0.xml
c!SEC5_E!en!0.xml

c!SEC8_E!en!0.xml
c!SEC9_E!en!0.xml
c!SEC10_E!en!0.xml
metadata-2014.xml
Final_Budget_2014.csv


each 'nmc-item alias='"", id=""' starts a small table (maximum 3 rows) with bud-remark, bud-legal. The content of c!SEC10_E!en!0.xml is as follows.

@HimmelStein that's great. Could you try prepping some sample CSV illustrating what tables you think would get generated out of this and then either paste the raw CSV sample, or, better post to a gist or somewhere online and drop in the DataPipes link http://datapipes.okfnlabs.org/ (see http://okfnlabs.org/blog/2013/12/05/view-csv-with-data-pipes.html)

For what it's worth, there's a parser for this that I started hacking up a while back here: https://github.com/civicdataeu/eu-budget-scraper - unfortunately, the XML is very complex and I found it impossible to make a good CSV equivalent without answering some additional questions about the structure of the EU budget process. It's also made harder by the fact that this XML looks to be made as a pre-print processing stage, not an accounting document.

It would be really cool to get this right, though!

@HimmelStein thank-you - btw here's the datapipes version (I've also used webshot to get a screen grab of that and inlined below):

http://datapipes.okfnlabs.org/csv/head%C2%A0400/html?url=http://wenxion.net/cyc/c!SEC10_E!en!0.csv

Questions:

  • A bunch of the rows have no amount - how come?
  • Could you provide descriptions for the various terse column names - e.g. what is the @alias and the @id (what were those columns named originally?)
  • Did you have any thoughts on @pudo's comments?

@HimmelStein any thoughts on the questions here?

A bunch of the rows have no amount - how come?

this is due to the structure of the XML file. Just think of an xml file as a book, which has chapters, sections. The financial data sets appear only in sections. If we map each chapter and section into csv lines, those chapter lines have no financial data, and appear as empty.

Could you provide descriptions for the various terse column names - e.g. what is the @alias and the @id (what were those columns named originally?)

they are attributes in the xml file

Did you have any thoughts on @pudo's comments?

yes, we can work on it, and get it right, better with supports from domain experts.

  • We don't want to map the chapters across then I think - chapter info should just be a column. We should only map across entries in xml with actual financial data
  • Could you provide descriptions for the attributes in the xml file e.g. what is @alias or @id - do you know?
  • Do you yourself have a list of unanswered questions from your work so far?

Yes, that looks great. Could I suggest you start a repo at https://github.com/os-data and we start putting some of this data in there and creating a Fiscal Data Package. I'm cc'ing @danfowler who can get you set up.

@rgrp I've created an empty repo here: https://github.com/os-data/eu-budget-2014
@HimmelStein can you check if you have access?

Hi @HimmelStein, thanks for pushing! This looks great so far.

Looking through the data, I have the following comments:

  • To answer your original question, these tables seems to have the same structure, so they should be concatenated before packaging. We're still trying to sort out how we handle split CSVs without requiring concatenation before packaging: "Chunks" and resources split over multiple physical files frictionlessdata/specs#228
  • I only see expenditure in this dataset, but I do see the option (exprev) available. If you would like to package revenue as well, that can be done in the same dataset as direction of spend is now a property of a measure. In that case, you would have an expenditure column where exprev = "exp" and a revenue column where exprev = "rev".
  • Is Alias a classification? If so, it would be good to separate the coding by periods instead of spaces (see: http://fiscal.dataprotocols.org/spec/#classifications)
  • Small observation: it seems like all spending lines in given bud-data should have the same EpNote (tho this is probably not relevant for packaging the data)
  • Do you know what p.m refers to? It shows up where an amount figure would otherwise be.
  • In the sample below, I don't see the figure 69 107 537,75 in the CSV for year nm2 and the amount for 2013 seem to be repeated having lost a figure on the end (e.g. 73 643 709 -> 73 643 70)

Please let me know if that helps, and how I can help you move this forward.

Hi @HimmelStein, I see lots of duplicate rows for the CSV file pushed to /data/. This made me wonder if there was another level of spending classification missing. But since I also see those in the source 😉 no worries. I can work up a datapackage.json.

@danfowler @HimmelStein can we close this?

@rgrp @HimmelStein I think we can. Any further questions specifically about the dataset should go into the issue tracker for it: https://github.com/os-data/eu-budget-2014/issues
