Description
Record an asserted country-code succession and its source.
International records depend on source vintages, country classifications, population denominators, currency conventions and reporting periods. A code or textual crosswalk is a declared record relationship rather than proof of comparability. PPP-style factors, market exchange rates and physical-flow adjustments answer different questions.
Record an asserted country-code succession and its source.
When to use this tool
Use Global Dataset Country Code Successor Tag when checking the stated international record, basis, flow or allocation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter datasetId, originalCode, suppliedSuccessorCode, codebookVersion. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Require nonempty dataset ID, original/supplied-successor codes and codebook version. Encode the ordered quadruple as JSON text.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| datasetId | Dataset Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| originalCode | Original Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedSuccessorCode | Supplied Successor Code | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| codebookVersion | Codebook Version | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| token | JSON-encoded ordered tuple or literal token under the convention above; not a database lookup or authentication result. | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
{
"input": {
"datasetId": "D17",
"originalCode": "OLD",
"suppliedSuccessorCode": "NEW",
"codebookVersion": "v2"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"D17\",\"OLD\",\"NEW\",\"v2\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The successor mapping is an assertion; no geopolitical history, authority or actual code replacement is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Consult original datasets, authoritative classifications and the intended statistical/currency methods before comparing international indicators or financial quantities.
