The data schema in this repo, i.e. the columns in CSVs change over time as the pandemic response evolves. Example: commit 74003a3 renames
deaths
todeaths_new
indeaths_malaysia.csv
anddeaths_state.csv
. Although this is natural for pandemic data collection, it can be disruptive to downstream data consumers, who had to modify their applications to keep up with the changed data schema.I'm keeping track of the data schema changes at https://gist.github.com/tnwei/507f582644b9a8c8be167637cea1e2fc, which is updated regularly. Would like to suggest linking to my list in the README, so data consumers can see the lineage of data schema changes.
I'll put in a PR if @MoH-Malaysia is onboard. TQ for your tireless data updates!
