gbd-mapping 1.0.2

A programmatically accessible mapping of gbd entities.

Mapping of GBD entities to their metadata.

There are two packages offered in this distribution. The first, the gbd_mapping_generator is a set of scripts that define templates and data gathering code used to produce the second, the gbd_mapping. The gbd_mapping_generator package will not function without access to the IHME cluster and some of our internally used data access libraries.

The gbd_mapping is a programmatically accessible (and TAB-complete-able) set of mappings for GBD entities including:

• Causes

• Risks

• Covariates

• Etiologies

• Sequelae

There are additional mappings for objects mostly built around custom data. The primary instance of this is the coverage_gap mapping. Coverage Gaps are non-GBD entities representing the lack of coverage of interventions to particular GBD causes and risks.

You can install gbd_mapping from PyPI with pip:

> pip install gbd_mapping

or build it from source with

> git clone https://github.com/ihmeuw/gbd_mapping.git

> cd gbd_mapping

> python setup.py install
