All historical data should have, if possible, observation-level attributes attached which indicate the set of processing steps applied, or at least the status of the observation, e.g. whether it is passed through directly or has been adjusted/harmonized by the item code.

This follows #51, since the SDMX community has already established code lists (with the ID "OBS_STATUS") for this purpose. See:

These include precise codes like:

  • E: Estimated value
  • K: Data included in another category
  • M: Missing value; data cannot exist

We should understand and try to apply these, only inventing new codes if necessary.
