Some of the datapackages Like Purchasing power parity (PPP) fail to load data

Error message: Wrong type for header: Year and value: ////

One suggested solution would be to change type for Year column to number - this worked for https://staging.datapackaged.com/core/ppp

@zelima i think we want to think more about the exact solution. Switching to number is not really correct IMO. See discussion in https://github.com/frictionlessdata/dpr-js/issues/121

Options:

Change type to new year type (in upcoming release - but not supported in current js lib!)
Change to type date with format filed as per https://github.com/frictionlessdata/dpr-js/issues/121
Turn off data validation in the JS lib (is this possible?)
...?
