The geography_member table
Which geographies make up an aggregate. role='excluded' expresses a complement: a rest-of-world region defined as a continent minus the countries a model treats explicitly.
Fields#
| field | type | required | example | meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
group_code |
text | yes | The aggregate geography. | |
member_code |
text | yes | A geography inside that aggregate. | |
role |
text | yes | Whether the member is included in the aggregate or excluded from it: an excluded member is how a rest-of-world region is defined. |
Notes#
Without this, two rest-of-world regions from different publishers look interchangeable and are not.
