Functions for working with the historicized list of municipalities of Switzerland

Source: R/SwissCommunes-package.R
munch-package.Rd

The mutations of Swiss municipalities are tracked in a machine-readable mutation list. This allows guessing the reference time for any given list of municipality IDs, and to construct mappings between two lists of municipality IDs. The package provides functions to import and work with this mutation list.

Contains historicized municipality data for Switzerland from 1960 onwards, from the "Historisiertes Gemeindeverzeichnis" of the Swiss Federal Statistical Office.
