[ENHANCEMENT] Add list of Dimension to the PxStat.Data.Cube_API.ReadCollection API

Hello, We have been working with CSO data in 2019 when CSO tables were provided by StatBank. Back then the Table Of Contents of all available tables (toc) downloaded using the R-package was very helpful resource to navigate thousands of available tables.

With switching over to PxStat the contents of the TOC has changed – it no longer include the “dimensions” of the tables (which is a very helpful detail).

Below is the side-by-side comparison of the previous (StatBank) and the new (PxStat) Table of Contents:

Dimensions (or tags) are visible on the web-page:

Is there a way to download the Table of Contents that would include the “dimensions” (“tags”)? May be we are missing some parameters in the call to a procedure in R-package?

Describe the solution

• Amend the API PxStat.Data.Cube_API.ReadCollection to include the list of Dimensions - no variables.
• Amend the R package to read and display the list of Dimensions in another column (ie. coma separated)
