DataStructureDefinition

class nomenclature.DataStructureDefinition(path, dimensions=None)

Definition of datastructure codelists for dimensions used in the IAMC format

Methods

check_aggregate(df, **kwargs)	Check for consistency of scenario data along the variable hierarchy
to_excel(excel_writer, **kwargs)	Write the codelists to an xlsx spreadsheet
validate(df[, dimensions])	Validate that the coordinates of df are defined in the codelists

check_aggregate(df, **kwargs)

Check for consistency of scenario data along the variable hierarchy

Parameters:

dfpyam.IamDataFrame

Scenario data to be checked for consistency along the variable hierarchy.

kwargsTolerance arguments for comparison of values

Passed to numpy.isclose via pyam.IamDataFrame.check_aggregate.

Returns:

pandas.DataFrame or None

Data where a variable and its computed aggregate does not match.

Raises:

ValueError

If the DataStructureDefinition does not have a variable dimension.

to_excel(excel_writer, **kwargs)

Write the codelists to an xlsx spreadsheet

Parameters:

excel_writerstr or pathlib.Path

File path as string or pathlib.Path.

**kwargs

Passed to pandas.ExcelWriter

validate(df, dimensions=None)

Validate that the coordinates of df are defined in the codelists

Parameters:

dfpyam.IamDataFrame

Scenario data to be validated against the codelists of this instance.

dimensionslist of str, optional

Dimensions to perform validation (defaults to all dimensions of self)

Returns:

None

Raises:

ValueError

If df fails validation against any codelist.
