• —One row means: one source record from the original tabular resource, with Electric Sheep Africa provenance columns added where available.
• —Primary geography column: country_iso3.
• —Best time column: not detected.
• —Time coverage basis: source metadata.
• —Recommended join keys: country_iso3 where available plus source-specific keys.

Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-parcel-identification-numbers-pins-issued-during-period-ju-c6c046b3")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis

if {"indicator_id", "year", "value"}.issubset(df.columns):
    matrix = df.pivot_table(index="year", columns="indicator_id", values="value")
    print(matrix.tail())

Data Quality Notes

• —No canonical year/date column was detected in the packaged table; use source metadata and domain context for temporal interpretation.
• —Missing values are preserved rather than silently imputed.
• —Column names are standardized for machine use; source meanings are preserved where known.
• —Always confirm source methodology, units, and collection definitions before policy, production, or redistribution-sensitive use.
