fileName <- system.file("pensions","pensions_funds.xml",package="XML")
parsed<-xmlTreeParse("pension_funds.xml",getDTD=F)
r<-xmlRoot(parsed)
tmp = xmlSApply(r,function(x) xmlSApply(x,xmlValue))

以上几行基本上遵循http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML/gettingStarted.html中的示例
但我想我首先需要以某种方式忽略标题(我已经粘贴在我正在尝试阅读的文件的前几页下面).所以我认为上面的内容可能会起作用,但它从我错误的节点开始.我想抓住他们的time_period和ref_area索引的obs_values.

第一件事就是找到正确的节点然后从那里开始,但是我怀疑我可能是傻瓜的事,因为我对数据格式知之甚少,而且我不确定XML包可以用于SDMX-XML文件.聪明的人似乎试图这样做
http://opensdmxdevelopers.wikispaces.com/RSDMX
我在这里的主页上找不到这个包
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/rsdmx/
(我看不到任何链接/下载部分,但也许我是盲目的)它似乎是早期阶段. rsdmx的存在建议使用xml包来读取sdmx可能并不容易,所以我准备在这个阶段放弃,除非任何人都成功了.其实我主要是对阅读这个文件感兴趣
http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/sdmx/bsi/1/data/outstanding_amounts.xml
但这是一个10mb的文件,所以我开始变小了.

EDIT3
使用Mischa评论中的更改尝试sgibb对大文件的回答
库( “XML”)

url <- "http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/sdmx/bsi/1/data/outstanding_amounts.xml"

    sdmxHandler <- function() {
  ## data.frame which stores results
  data <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
  ## counter to store current row
  i <- 1
  ## temp value to store current REF_AREA
  ## temp value to store current REF_AREA
  refArea <- NA
  bsItem <- NA
  bsCountSector <- NA

  ## handler subroutine for Obs tag
  Obs <- function(name,attr) {
    ## found an Obs tag and now fill data.frame
    data[i,"refArea"] <<- refArea
    data[i,"timePeriod"] <<- as.numeric(attr["TIME_PERIOD"])
    data[i,"obsValue"] <<- as.numeric(attr["OBS_VALUE"])
    data[i,"bsItem"] <<- bsItem
    data[i,"bsCountSector"] <<- bsCountSector
    i <<- i + 1
  }

  ## handler subroutine for Series tag
  Series <- function(name,attr) {
    refArea <<- attr["REF_AREA"]
    bsItem <<- as.character(attr["BS_ITEM"])
    bsCountSector <<- as.numeric(attr["BS_ITEM"])
  }
  return(list(getData=function() {return(data)},Obs=Obs,Series=Series))
}

## run parser
df <- xmlEventParse(file(url),handlers=sdmxHandler())$getData()
Specification mandate value for attribute OBS_VALUE
attributes construct error

In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)

EDIT2：
sgibb的答案看起来很理想,并且可以在较小的文件上完美运行.我试着运行它

url <- http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/sdmx/bsi/1/data/outstanding_amounts.xml

(10mb文件,原始链接已更正),唯一的修改是添加两行：

data[i,"bsItem"] <<- as.character(attr["BS_ITEM"])

data[i,"bsCountSector"] <<- as.numeric(attr["BS_COUNT_SECTOR"])

(这些是识别此较大数据集中的行所需的附加id变量).
它运行了几分钟,然后完成了这个错误：

Error: 1: Specification mandate value for attribute TIME_PE
2: attributes construct error
3: Couldn’t find end of Start Tag Obs line 20743
4: Premature end of data in tag Series line 20689
5: Premature end of data in tag DataSet line 91
6: Premature end of data in tag CompactData line 2

另外：有50个或更多警告(使用警告()查看前50个)

数据的基本格式看起来非常相似,所以我认为这可能有用. 10mb文件的基本格式如下：

<Series FREQ="M" REF_AREA="AT" ADJUSTMENT="N" BS_REP_SECTOR="A" BS_ITEM="A20" MATURITY_ORIG="A" DATA_TYPE="1" COUNT_AREA="U2" BS_COUNT_SECTOR="0000" CURRENCY_TRANS="Z01" BS_SUFFIX="E" TIME_FORMAT="P1M" COLLECTION="E">
        <Obs TIME_PERIOD="1997-09" OBS_VALUE="275.3" OBS_STATUS="A" OBS_CONF="F"/>
        <Obs TIME_PERIOD="1997-10" OBS_VALUE="275.9" OBS_STATUS="A" OBS_CONF="F"/>
        <Obs TIME_PERIOD="1997-11" OBS_VALUE="276.6" OBS_STATUS="A" OBS_CONF="F"/>

EDIT1：

所需的数据格式：

Ref_area    time_period obs_value

At  2006    118    
At  2007    119    
…    
Be  2006    101    
…

这是数据的第一位.
