Get Dataset Dimension Positions — get_dataset_dimension

Retrieves the dimension names and their SDMX key positions for a specific ISTAT dataset. Positions indicate the order of dimensions in the SDMX key (1-based), which is needed for constructing data queries with positional filters.

Usage

get_dataset_dimension_positions(dataset_id)

Arguments

dataset_id: Character string specifying the dataset ID

Value

A named integer vector mapping dimension IDs to their 1-based positions (e.g., c(FREQ = 1L, REF_AREA = 2L, EDITION = 7L)), or NULL if the dataset is not found or an error occurs

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get dimension positions for a dataset
positions <- get_dataset_dimension_positions("534_50")
# Returns: c(ATECO_2007 = 1L, BASE_YEAR = 2L, CORREZ = 3L, ...)

# Use positions to identify the FREQ dimension slot
freq_pos <- positions["FREQ"]
} # }
