# Federal Republic of Somalia - Trade

**Publisher:** World Bank Group · **Source:** [HDX](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-trade-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia) · **License:** `cc-by` · **Updated:** 2025-11-04

## Abstract

Contains data from the World Bank's [data portal](http://data.worldbank.org/). There is also a [consolidated country dataset](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-combined-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia) on HDX.

Trade is a key means to fight poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals, specifically by improving developing country access to markets, and supporting a rules based, predictable trading system. In cooperation with other international development partners, the World Bank launched the Transparency in Trade Initiative to provide free and easy access to data on country-specific trade policies.

Each row in this dataset represents country-level aggregates. Data was last updated on HDX on 2025-11-04. Geographic scope: **SOM**.

## Numeric Summary

| Column | Min | Max | Mean | Median |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `year` | 1960.0 | 2024.0 | 1994.1298 | 1994.0 |

## Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (`N/A`, `null`, `none`, `-`, `unknown`, `no data`, `#N/A`) were unified to `NaN`. 2 column(s) were cast from string to numeric or datetime based on parse-success rate (>85% threshold). The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

---

## Limitations

- Data originates from World Bank Group and has not been independently validated by ESA.
- Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
- Refer to the [original HDX dataset page](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-trade-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia) for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.

## 摘要
本数据集包含来自世界银行[数据门户](http://data.worldbank.org/)的相关数据。同时，HDX平台上还发布有索马里联邦共和国的整合型国家指标数据集。

贸易是消除贫困、实现千年发展目标的核心路径之一，具体可通过提升发展中国家的市场准入条件，以及构建规则明确、可预期的贸易体系来实现。世界银行联合其他国际发展伙伴发起了“贸易透明度倡议”，旨在免费便捷地提供各国针对性贸易政策相关数据。

本数据集的每一行均代表国家层面的汇总统计数据。数据集最后一次在HDX平台更新的时间为2025-11-04。数据覆盖的地理范围：**SOM（索马里）**。

*本数据集已由[非洲电羊（Electric Sheep Africa）](https://huggingface.co/electricsheepafrica)整理为适配机器学习的Parquet格式。*

## 数据整理流程
原始数据通过CKAN API从HDX平台下载，并转换为Parquet格式。列名均转换为小写并标准化为蛇形命名法（snake_case）。常见的缺失值标记（`N/A`、`null`、`none`、`-`、`unknown`、`no data`、`#N/A`）均被统一替换为`NaN`。基于解析成功率（阈值为85%），将2列从字符串类型转换为数值型或日期时间型。本数据集以80:20的比例划分为训练集与测试集，划分时使用固定随机种子（42），并以Snappy压缩的Parquet格式存储。

---

## 数据局限性
1. 本数据集源自世界银行集团，尚未由非洲电羊（ESA）进行独立验证。
2. 自动化数据清洗流程无法修正原始数据集中的错报值、定义不一致问题或采样偏差。
3. 如需了解发布方提供的方法说明与注意事项，请参阅[HDX平台原始数据集页面](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/world-bank-trade-indicators-for-federal-republic-of-somalia)。
