Reference data set providing 2001, 2011 data zones and lookup to higher geographies
Minor changes across .gitignore and .Rbuildignore plus a few other files to accommodate for a more efficient build
Details
The reference data is derived from publicly available reference files. List of relevant Scottish Government pages is given in sources section of the data documentation. The reference data could be easily expanded and include other, potentially useful, lookups. The only point worth considering is that the overall size of the package should not exceed 5MB if the intention is to submit the package to CRAN at some point:
As a general rule, neither data nor documentation should exceed 5MB (which covers several books). A CRAN package is not an appropriate way to distribute course notes, and authors will be asked to trim their documentation to a maximum of 5MB.
Where a large amount of data is required (even after compression), consideration should be given to a separate data-only package which can be updated only rarely (since older versions of packages are archived in perpetuity).
