Re: [codelist] Code list lifecycle examples

[Pim van der Eijk <pvde@sonnenglanz.net>]

Hello Ken,

I asked RVIG and was pointed to 
https://publicaties.rvig.nl/Landelijke_tabellen/Inleiding_op_de_Landelijke_Tabellen_BRP 
which documents the table format.

When an end date is marked by a * (asterisk), it is a fictitious end 
date. Such an end date in the table means a change was made to the code 
list at a date after the historic fact. Since data may have been added 
that used the code after the actual end date, but before the code list 
was updated, a fictitious later date was set instead. This obviated 
the need for retroactive changes in systems. Looking at the version of 
the list as published today, the last time this happened was in June 1991.

If a code is marked as changed in a particular version of a code list, 
this means the entry in the code list was changed from the previously 
issued version. Looking at the version of the list as published today, 
the country called Eswatini succeeded the country called Swaziland in 
April 2018. This marking is not possible in case of a deletion.

BRP is the Base Registry for Persons in the Netherlands.

Kind Regards,

Pim
