Maintenance agency

Organisation or other expert body responsible for the operational maintenance of commonly used metadata artefacts.

The maintenance agency is responsible for all administrative and operational issues relating to an artefact or set of artefacts. It is the point of contact for all stakeholders for all issues related to the artefact(s) under its responsibility. The maintenance agency is not a decision-making body. Decisions are made collaboratively among the owners of the artefact. Each identifiable SDMX artefact must have a single maintenance agency (though the maintenance agency could actually consist of several organisations or bodies), either directly (such as code list or a data structure definition) or via the container in which it is maintained such as a code (maintained artefact is a Code List) or a dimension (maintained artefact is a data structure definition).
