opencoviddata's Issues

Preview of the results

Thanks for providing the code for generating the ageclass-time incidence matrices!

As a small suggestion: would it be possible to add a screenshot/image of the result somewhere in the read.me, so one knows what to expect from this repository? I tried to see if its possible to use https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/rgieseke/opencoviddata/blob/main/docs/baden-w%C3%BCrttemberg.html directly, but this didn' work.

Thanks for providing open-source software!

allow for multidimensional queries

The SurvStat webservice only provides two-dimensional data. To get a multidimensional data set one could loop over the values of a third (and forth, and fifth, ...) attribute of interest and filter accordingly.

It likely plays a role in terms of performance which variables are chosen as row and column, and which are used as filters. For instance it might be preferable to reduce the number of queries by choosing the variables with the highest number of values (typically county and reporting week) as row and column... on the condition that this doesn't crash the service.

A concrete case which would be useful for https://github.com/hzi-braunschweig/SORMAS-data-generator in its present implementation would be to get case numbers per reporting week, county and case definition (Falldefinitionskategorie). 🙂

Filter metadata duplicates.

Meta-data might contain duplicated sentences from main sheet and footnotes.
