Table 12.1 provides an example for this mandatory sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.1. V2 sample About sheet

VERSION	TIME_ENABLED
2	TRUE

This sheet aims at identifying the version of the format of this data file. Currently (2010-2011), only the value 2 is possible for the VERSION column.

The expected value for the TIME_ENABLED column is a boolean: only TRUE or FALSE values are possible:

Table 12.2 provides an example for this mandatory sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.2. V2 sample Data sheet

UT_ID	pop2000	pop2002	area2000	gdp2000	gdp2002
AT111	1	15	2	7	10
AT112	3	16	4	8	11
AT113	5	17	6	9	12

This sheet must provide at least three columns: UT_ID then at least two indicators identifiers (in HyperAtlas, there must be at least one numerator stock and one denominator stock). The Table 12.2 shows five indicators identifiers: pop2000, pop2002, area2000, gdp2000 and gdp2002. These identifiers must be described in the StockInfo sheet (see Section 12.1.8).

The UT_ID column must provide the list of territorial units at the lowest rank (example, at NUTS 3 level) of the dataset. The units are referenced by their identifiers that must match the given values in the associated structure.xls input file.

Then, each other cell provides a value for the given indicator column at the given unit row. For example in Table 12.2, 17 is the value for pop2002 indicator in AT113 territorial unit.

	Each cell must be valuated. Missing values are not accepted here.

Table 12.3 provides an example for this optional sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.3. V2 sample Default sheet

DEFAULT_NUM	DEFAULT_DEN
pop	area

This sheet aims at providing a default indicator to be selected in HyperAtlas at startup for the denominator and for the numerator combo boxes. Expected values for both columns are valid indicators identifiers that must match two of those defined in the StockInfo sheet (see Section 12.1.8).

Table 12.4 provides an example for this mandatory sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.4. V2 sample Label sheet

LABEL_ID	LANG_CODE	NAME	DESC
1	EN	Total population	Total population in thousands
1	FR	Population totale	Population totale en milliers
2	EN	Area	Total area
2	FR	Superficie	Superficie totale
3	EN	GDP	Gross domestic product
3	FR	PIB	Produit intérieur brut
4	EN	GDP/Inhabitant	Gross domestic product per inhabitant
4	FR	PIB/Hab	PIB par habitant
5	EN	Density	Density of population
5	FR	Densité	Densité de population

This sheet aims at providing the internationalized names and descriptions for the indicators and predefined ratios. The LABEL_ID and LANG_CODE provides indexes for this table: for a given label identifier there may be several available translations. Thus, the LABEL_ID = 1 is available in english (LANG_CODE = EN) and french (LANG_CODE = FR) languages. In the StockInfo sheet, each indicator reference a label identifier. As several indicators may be similarly named and described (when an indicator is valuated for several dates), these labels have been exported here.

	The language identifier code must be a valid ISO Language Code. These codes are the lower-case, two-letter codes as defined by ISO-639. Nevertheless, the parser supports upper-cases. You can find a full list of these codes at a number of sites, such as: http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/related/iso639.txt (2011-03-16).

Note that values in the LABEL_ID column may be referenced from the StockInfo sheet (see Section 12.1.8) and from the RatioStock sheet (see Section 12.1.7).

Table 12.5 provides an example for this optional sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.5. V2 sample Metadata sheet

UT_ID	STOCK_ID	PROVIDER_ID
AT111	pop2000	1
AT112	pop2000	2
	area	2
	pop2002	1

This draft sheet aims at providing some basic metadata information for an indicator relatively or not to a territorial unit. Currently, only the source of data may be given as metadata.

For example in Table 12.5, the values of the pop2000 indicator identifier were retrieved from different sources for regions AT111 and AT112. On the contrary, all values for the area indicator, whatever the unit is, were provided by the same source. Idem for the pop2002 indicator.

The values in the PROVIDER_ID column must match the identifiers that are given in the Provider sheet (see Table 12.6). Likewise, the values in the STOCK_ID column must match the identifiers that are defined in the StockInfo sheet (see Table 12.8).

Table 12.6 provides an example for this optional sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.6. V2 sample Provider sheet

PROVIDER_ID	NAME	CONTACT	URL
1	Eurostat	toto@eurostat.eu	http://www.eurostat.eu
2	INSEE	tata@insee.fr	http://www.insee.fr

This sheet aims at providing the list of data providers. Their different ids are referenced from the Metadata sheet.

Table 12.7 provides an example for this optional sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.7. V2 sample RatioStock sheet

RATIO_ID	LABEL_ID	NUM_ID	DEN_ID	VALIDITY_START	VALIDITY_END
1	4	gdp2000	pop2000	2000	2000
2	4	gdp2002	pop2002	2002	2002
3	5	pop2000	area2000	2000	2000
4	5	pop2002	area2000	2002	2002

This sheet aims at defining relevant ratios for the HyperAtlas "ratio" combo box parameter. Table 12.7 shows the example of two such predefined ratios, each of them for two different dates:

Each value in the RATIO_ID column must be unique. Doublons will overwrite the previous found value.

Note that the LABEL_ID references the sames labels for the given pairs of numerator/denominator at different dates (4 for lines 2 and 3, 5 for lines 4 and 5). These labels identifiers must be set in theLabel sheet (see Section 12.1.4).

The values in the NUM_ID column and the values in the DEN_ID column must match the identifiers of indicators that are defined in the StockInfo sheet (see Section 12.1.8).

The values in the VALIDITY_START column will only be considered if the value of the TIME_ENABLED column in the About sheet is TRUE (see Section 12.1.1). Then, one relevant ratio can be chosen in HyperAtlas for different dates. Identically for the values in the VALIDITY_END column. Though VALIDITY_START and VALIDITY_END columns are designed to handle time intervals, setting the same value in both columns makes the ratio associated to a timestamp.

	The expected format for both valididy start/end date fields is currently a year in the yyyy pattern. An input like 2010-12-31 is possible but this version of the application will only take into account the year, that is to say 2010 for this example.

Table 12.8 provides an example for this mandatory sheet in the data v2 input xls file.

Table 12.8. V2 sample StockInfo sheet

STOCK_ID	LABEL_ID	MEASURE_UNIT	VALIDITY_START	VALIDITY_END	VISIBLE_FLAG
pop2000	1	*1000	2000	2000	TRUE
pop2002	1	*1000	2002	2002	TRUE
area2000	2	km2	2000	2000	TRUE
gdp2000	3	euros	2000	2000	TRUE
gdp2002	3	euros	2002	2002	TRUE

This sheet mainly aims at providing the identifiers of the indicators of the dataset. Here are a short description for each column of this sheet:
