Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore and develop YAML structures for various data management tasks, focusing on schema evolution, data mapping, and validation techniques.

Key Activities

  • Reviewed the evolution of the INDIVIDUAL schema from 2010 to 2025, focusing on core elements and standardization strategies.
  • Created a reference manual for changes in HOGAR and INDIVIDUAL data structures, including validations and normalization techniques.
  • Explored the use of YAML for defining data structures in databases, emphasizing schema definitions and data validation.
  • Developed a YAML metamodel for structuring EPH data, incorporating logical models and era-specific manifests.
  • Provided a structured YAML configuration for EPH data mapping, detailing canonical columns and validation rules.
  • Drafted a guide for YAML data ingestion and normalization, covering error handling and era detection.
  • Structured YAML files for EPH and HOGAR systems, focusing on variable mapping and data configuration.
  • Outlined YAML structures for household characteristics, survey design, and income metrics, providing templates for data management.
  • Created a compact YAML structure for business data to enhance data management efficiency.
  • Designed a declarative alignment profile in YAML for data processing with pandas, promoting reproducibility and clarity.

Achievements

  • Successfully developed comprehensive YAML structures for various data management needs, enhancing standardization and validation processes.
  • Provided detailed guides and templates for implementing YAML configurations across different data domains.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the YAML structures in real-world scenarios to ensure robustness and adaptability.
  • Integration of YAML configurations into existing data management systems for seamless operation.
