ISO standard 20275 ‘Financial Services – Entity Legal Forms (ELF)’,
Python wrapper.

Its aim is to enable legal forms within jurisdictions to be codified and
thus facilitate the classification of legal entities according to their
legal form and is codified through: `iso
20275:2019 <https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:std:iso:20275:ed-1:v1:en>`__

Column description
------------------

Everything is stored in UTF-8 format.

-  ELF Code: 4 alphanumerical characters (*[A-Z0-9]{4}*) representing
   the identifier of the legal entity type. One should pay attention
   that this code is not unique among the dataset. Indeed, a same legal
   entity can have different entries based on the language used.
-  Country of formation: Common name of the country corresponding to
   the: "English short name (using Title case)" of ISO 3166-1.
-  Country Code: Alpha-2 code of ISO 3166-1.
-  Jurisdiction of formation: ``Optional`` Common name of the
   subdivision within the country corresponding to the: "English short
   name (using Title case)" of ISO 3166-2.
-  Country sub-division code (ISO 3166-2): ``Optional`` (extended)
   Alpha-2 code of ISO 3166-2.
-  Entity Legal Form name Local name: Official name used within the
   country. If the country has different official languages, one may
   find several entries corresponding to the different languages.
-  Language: Common name of the language used to express the local name
   corresponding to the: "Name" (using Title case) of ISO 639-1.
-  Language Code (ISO 639-1): Alpha-2 code of ISO 639-1.
-  Entity Legal Form name Transliterated name (per ISO 01.140.10):
   Transliteration to *latinized* alphabet (more than ASCII - `Latin-1 section <#markdown-header-latin1>`__) of local
   name according to ISO 01.140.10.
-  Abbreviations Local language: ``Optional`` Abbreviations of the legal
   entity type local name.
-  Abbreviations transliterated: ``Optional`` Transliterated
   abbreviation of the legal entity type local name in *latinized*
   alphabet (more than ASCII).
-  Date created YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601): Date of creation according to ISO
   8601, per se, 2017-11-30, 2019-11-06 or 2020-06-10.
-  ELF Status ACTV/INAC: Either Active or Inactive.
-  Modification: ``Optional`` Explanation of the modification.
-  Modification date YYYY-MM-DD (ISO 8601): ``Optional`` Date of the
   modification according to ISO 8601.
-  Reason: ``Optional`` Explanation on the legal entity type.

Code examples
-------------

/!\\ Beware /!\\ Three datasets are available within this package. The
``Elf``, the ``Elf with additional legal forms`` and the ``Original Elf``, the original one (``Original Elf``) is a
mapping of the original file without some normalization in the data. This is the
pure form. Whereas ``Elf`` got some modifications to clean up some
inputs. See `Differences section <#markdown-header-differences>`__ for
more details. ``Elf with additional legal forms`` consists of the cleaned version (``Elf``) to which the different forms present in the file `Additional legal forms.txt <iso20275/Additional legal forms.txt>`__ have been added.

By default, the package provides ``Elf with additional legal forms``, but you can load the version that you want with:

``Elf.load(newest=True, cleaned=False, additional=False)``

If you don't provide *newest*,  you can access to a previous version with *timestamp* like 2019-11-06. *Cleaned* is when you want the version with some ameliorations, *additional* is based on the *cleaned* version but with the additional legal forms.

There exists 263 elements sharing a same ELF code. You need to specify
which version you would like to use explicitly.

.. code:: python

    from iso20275 import Elf
    len(Elf['254M']) # 2 entries for this specific entity.
    Elf['254M'][0].local_name # '私人股份有限公司' for the Chinese entry.
    Elf['254M'][1].local_name # Private company limited by shares for the English entry.

    len(Elf['CDOV']) # 1 entry for this specific entity.
    Elf['CDOV'][0].local_name # International Business Corporation.

    # You can iterate over all the ELF code.
    for elf_code, values in Elf.items():
        pass

    # You can access to both version of the dataset, a normalized one and the original. Observe the Co-opLtd.
    Elf['6W6X'][0].local_abbreviations # "Co-operative Limited;Cooperative Limited;Co-op Limited;Coop Limited;Co-operative Ltd.;Cooperative Ltd.;Co-op Ltd.;Coop Ltd.;Co-operative;Cooperative;Co-op;Coop"
    Elf.load(newest=True, cleaned=False) # We load the official dataset
    Elf['6W6X'][0].local_abbreviations # "Co-operative Limited;Cooperative Limited;Co-op Limited;Coop Limited;Co-operative Ltd.;Cooperative Ltd.;Co-opLtd.;Coop Ltd.;Co-operative;Cooperative;Co-op;Coop"

Modified file with additional legal forms (Elf with additional legal forms)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Differences in comparison to the original file.

Modification:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The file is directly based on the modified file (Elf). We added the different forms present in the file `Additional legal forms.txt <iso20275/Additional legal forms.txt>`__ thanks to the script `merge_additional_legal_forms.py <iso20275/merge_additional_legal_forms.py>`__. This adds many countries, new legal forms in some countries already present, additions to the abbreviations used in some countries as well as legal forms in other languages.
