In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (2010=100, January 1975) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking the metadata as discontinued, and by segregating in the catalog.
2. Created replacements (2015=100), one-for-one where possible, which have an unchanged start date. There are two analytic variants: seasonally adjusted (SA) or not (NSA). The classification is KSIC 9.
3. Assigned standardized mnemonics.
4. Refurbished the catalog.

The active series reside in the historical catalog (South Korea » Industry » Industrial production index » 2015=100 » By detailed industry) and the predecessors under the adjacent discontinued node. They include, for example:

• IPIMF_10UM.IKOR = [DISCONTINUED] Industrial Production: Manufacturing (Index 2010=100, NSA)
• IPI15AM.IKOR    = Industrial production index: Manufacturing - Tanning and dressing of leather; luggage and footwear, (Index 2015=100, SA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
