Metadata repository

Place where logically organised statistical metadata are stored that allows for querying, editing and managing of metadata.

In SDMX reference metadata often relate to objects of the SDMX Information Model. These can be structural objects such as Dataflow, Code, Concept or data set objects such as partial keys (e.g. the value of a specific Dimension such as a country in the context of the data set) or even observations. These metadata need to be managed and made accessible not only to systems disseminating the metadata but often also to systems concerned with data discovery, query, and data visualisation. Many dissemination systems unite the reference metadata with the data to which they pertain, even though these metadata are collected by different mechanisms, by different systems, and stored in different databases from the data.
