Data Set
Dataset

Organised collection of data defined by a Data Structure Definition (DSD).

Within SDMX, a Data Set can be understood as a collection of similar data, sharing a structure, which extends over a period of time.

The Data Set can be represented physically in three fundamental forms:

- Generic Data Set: this format allows the representation of data structured according to any Data Structure Definition;

- Structure Specific Data Set: this format allows the representation of data structured according to a specific Data Structure Definition;

SDMX-EDI Data Set: a specific case of generic using the UN/EDIFACT syntax and which has limitations on what can be represented. It supports time series only.

The Structure Specific format is new to SDMX version 2.1 and combines the functionalities of the version 2.0 Compact and Cross Sectional formats.
