The United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations is a code list mantained by UNECE, United Nations agency, to facilitate trade.
Data
Data comes from the UNECE page, released at least once a year.
Preparation
As the original release files have encoding problems, we need to process both the mdb and the csv release. To build the dataset we use the csv version of the current edition.
Tools needed: MDBTools and CSVKit.
Download the current edition from UNECE and put it into the root directory.
Then execute bash scripts/prepare_edition_mdb.sh loc{ed}mdb.zip, where {ed} identify the release.
To integrate the data from the csv then run the python file
Prerequisites:
pip install pandas titlecase
Run:
python scripts/integrate.py loc232csv.zip
The provided prepare.py file would work alone when the original csv file will be fixed upstream.
